There are several types of accidents that can be classified based on the length of recovery needed or the nature of the incident. Accidents can range from first aid accidents where the worker returns to their job the same day, to lost time accidents where the worker loses at least one full day or shift, to fatal accidents that result in death. Accidents can also be temporary if they reduce earning capacity for a period of time, or permanent if they completely reduce earning capacity. Accidents are caused by a combination of factors related to the work environment, equipment and tools used, systems of work, and human behavior and characteristics. Some individuals may be predisposed to having more accidents due to personality traits or tendencies.

In other words accident prone refers to anyone who seems to be more susceptible to accidents and injuries than others. This may be due to disability or merely clumsiness. Accident proneness is a condition in which a “human being is mentally inclined, strongly disposed , attitudinally addicted or personally destined to become continually involved in an on-going and never-ending series of accidents or injuries”.
