Can most on-the-job accidents can be blamed on poor management?

According to the BLS, the six most-common causes of fatal workplace accidents are: Transportation accidents (2,080 fatalities in the most-recent year) Violence and other injuries caused by persons or animals (828 fatalities in the most-recent year) Falls, slips, and trips (792 fatalities in the most-recent year)

Whenever a workplace accident occurs, both the victim and employer are in a hurry to point fingers. The victim is often blamed for not being careful enough, a coworker is accused of negligent behavior or the employer is faulted for not providing a safe work environment. It can be hard to determine which claims are actually true.

As we all know, whether a workplace accident is the result of employee carelessness or employer negligence, employers must take action to protect workers from further harm or injury. An employer could potentially face legal liability if negligence led to an accident.

They could be held accountable for workplace accidents too but they, like the employees could not be totally blamed. Employees and employers should work out a solution together to reduce workplace accidents and create a safer work environment. Thanks Ufuk, In my opinion, the problem concern only employers.
