Accident prevention is a field of research focused on identifying and implementing strategies to reduce the occurrence of accidents and injuries in various settings, such as workplaces, roadways, and homes. Researchers in this area study the causes of accidents, assess risk factors, and develop and evaluate interventions to mitigate risks and prevent accidents from happening. The goal of accident prevention research is to ultimately reduce the number of injuries, fatalities, and property damage caused by accidents and create safer environments for individuals and communities. This research area may involve multidisciplinary approaches involving fields such as engineering, psychology, public health, and policy.
