Within the world of workplace safety, an accident is usually considered to be an unintended or unanticipated event that results or could have resulted in death, injury, or damage to property.
Many people prefer not to use the word "accident" because it carries for some a suggestion of an unavoidable event (act of God), while most of the Safety community subscribes to some form of the view that all accidents could have been prevented. That is why they investigate them - to learn how to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
Alternatives used by some in place of the word "accident" include "incident" and even "event."
