Theoretically it is possible to achieve a "zero accident rate" however, there are two siginificant factors that must considered and accepted. First, the risk involved in everything we do is never zero. It might be really low, but the fact remains that it is always a positive number. As a direct result of never achieving zero risk, the accident rate can never be zero either. The accident rate may get very low but it will still not equate to zero. Some mathematicians may argue that the number can be driven down so low that it is virtually indistinguisbale from zero. That is true however, as is the case with many accident types, we are not there yet! The financial cost of accident prevention is the second factor that affects a zero accident rate. Preventing accidents has a cost, and that cost increases as the accident rate gets lower. Many organizations are just not prepared to invest in accident prevention at the same monetary level when they see diminishing returns in terms of damage and injury reducion as the rate gets lower.

Can you possibly achieve negative zero?
Not possible ya
Is it possible to achieve absolute zero?
"Nothing is absolute, everything is relative"... Einstein
Is it possible to achieve a constant acceleration?
Yes - for a while. Or indefinitely, if you will accept zero acceleration as "constant acceleration".
When does absolute zero occur?
Absolute zero is the theoretically coldest temperature. It is not possible to actually achieve absolute zero, only to approach it. In laboratory experiments, temperatures below one microkelvin have been achieved - i.e., less than a millionth of a degree above absolute zero.
What is absulte 0?
"Absolute Zero" refers to zero on the kelvin scale for temperature. Absolute Zero, or 0 kelvin ( = -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit = -273.15 degrees Celsius), is the coldest possible temperature. It is probably impossible to achieve this temperature, but you can get very close.
Is zero gravity possible?
It's possible. There is a zero gravity area in the sea.
Is it possible to achieve zero inventories?
Some companies can. If you produce a standardized product, you maintain rigid production schedules and you have a very good supply chain, you can definitely achieve zero inventory. I run a job shop. I do a modified zero-inventory system. The things I use the most of, I keep a lot of inventory on hand. The things I rarely use are ordered as necessary.
What does pa mean in softball statistics?
possible accidents
Is it possible for a vector to be zero if its one of the components is zero?
NO, a vector will not be zero if one of its components will be zero.
Is it possible to have zero electric field value between a negative and positive charges along the line joining the two charges?
no, the charge would have to be of equal sign to achieve this.
Is it possible to have a zero electric field value between two positive charges along the line joining the two charges?
no, the charge would have to be of equal sign to achieve this.
Is 0 over 2 possible?
yes, it is possible to divide zero by a number. It is not possible to divide a number by zero though, which is undefined.
