Unintentional
Unintentional refers to actions that are not planned or designed, and are carried out without a conscious decision. In the context of health and safety, unintentional injuries are those that occur without any intent of harm. These can include accidents such as falls, burns, motor vehicle accidents, and poisonings.
Causes[edit | edit source]
Unintentional injuries can be caused by a variety of factors. These can include environmental hazards, lack of safety precautions, and human error. In many cases, these injuries can be prevented through proper safety measures and awareness.
Prevention[edit | edit source]
Prevention of unintentional injuries involves a combination of education, enforcement of safety regulations, and the creation of safer environments. This can include things like wearing seat belts, using smoke detectors, and following safety guidelines at work.
