Success factors for the implementation of a Zero Accident Vision (ZAV)

report
The aim of this research project was to attain a better understanding of the factors that contribute to successes with promoting safety and preventing accidents in companies that have adopted a ‘Zero Accident Vision’ (ZAV). Special focus was on ZAV commitment, safety communication, safety culture and safety learning, as well as on the identification of good practices and major challenges of companies that have implemented ZAV. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie the success of ZAV is of great interest to the German Social Accident Insurance, and for companies that take safety seriously, whether they are already committed to ZAV or not. Managers and workers in a total of 27 ZAV committed companies in seven European Union (EU) countries took part in a survey (the ‘PEROSH ZAV Survey’, 8,819 respondents), company interviews and national workshops to identify ZAV success factors and ‘good practices’, as well as challenges in sustaining ZAV.
