Vision Zero

Accidents at work and occupational illnesses are neither fated nor inevitable - they always have causes. By creating an effective culture of prevention, these causes can be eliminated and accidents at work, injuries and occupational illnesses can be prevented.

Vision Zero is a prevention approach that integrates the three dimensions of safety, health and well-being at work at all levels.

 

The 7 rules for Vision Zero

1. Live leadership - show your colours!
2. Danger recognised - danger averted!
3. Define goals - set up a programme!
4. well organised - with a system!
5 Machines, technology, systems - safe and healthy!
6 Knowledge creates safety!
7 Invest in people - motivate through participation!

  • Risk assessment (GBU) enables the workplace, the activity, the machine and the process to be analysed individually.

    This is accompanied by an assessment of the risk and the measures to be taken to minimise the risk.

    A research institute in particular is in a position to consider the question ‘What can happen in what form?’ as a standard consideration before every activity.
