Accidents , also known as accidental injuries , are unintended, incidental, and unplanned events that can be prevented if circumstances leading to an accident have been recognized, and acted upon , before it happened. Most scientists who study accidental injuries avoid using the term "accidents" and focus on factors that increase the risk of severe injuries and that reduce the incidence and severity of injuries.

Type
Physical and non-physical
Physical examples of accidents include collisions or fall of unwanted motor vehicles, injured by touching sharp objects, heat, moving, electric contact or ingesting toxins. Non-physical examples unintentionally reveal a secret or inadvertently say something wrong, accidental deletion of data, forget appointments, etc.
With activity
- Accidents during the execution of work or arising therefrom are called work accidents. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), more than 337 million accidents occur in the workplace each year, consequently, along with occupational diseases, in more than 2.3 million deaths each year.
- In contrast, recreational accidents are mainly sports injuries.
By vehicle

Common causes
Poison, vehicle collisions and falls are the most common cause of fatal injuries. According to a 2005 home-injury injury survey, which uses data from the National Vital Statistics System from the United States National Center for Health Statistics, falls, poisoning, and burns are the most common causes of death.
The United States also collects statistically valid injury data (sampled from 100 hospitals) through the National Electronic Injection Control System administered by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The program was revised in 2000 to include all injuries rather than injuries involving only products. Data on emergency department visits are also collected through the National Health Interview Survey. In the US, the Bureau of Employment Statistics is available on its website, extensive statistics on workplace accidents.
Accident model
Many models for characterizing and analyzing accidents have been proposed, which can be classified by type. Famous types and models include:
- The consecutive models
- Domino's Theory
- Model Destroy Missing
- The complex linear model
- Model Damage Energy
- The time sequence model
- Generalized Time Sequence Model
- Evolution of Accident and Prevention Function
- Epidemiological models
- Gordon 1949
- Forward Mapping Model based on Resident Pathogens Metaphor
- Process model
- Benner 1975
- Systemic model
- Rasmussen
- Reason for the Security System Model (embed a Swiss cheese model)
- The model for healthcare error proliferation
- Human reliability
- Woods, 1994
- Non-linear models
- System crash
- System-Theory of Model and Accident Process (STAMP)
- Functional Resonance Crash Model (FRAM)
- A statement that all existing models are not enough
Ishikawa diagrams are sometimes used to illustrate root-cause analysis and five why.
