Accident Prevention
Do you think you are accident proof? One in ten thought they were too, but now their comfortable illusion has been painfully shattered by injury. A far greater number are luckier. Their counting of the cost is only in money - but it still hurts.

To find out how most accidents happen and how you can try to avoid them, talk to Ronnie Hearn , rospa's Director of Training, and Agnes Craig , an Occupational Health Nurse.
