How to achieve an accident-free workplace, and why you should aim for it

A university student asked me what my take was on whether or not we should aim for zero incidents or accidents in the workplace and if this is achievable.
 
I realized that this was a great opportunity to spread the safety message.
 
The main reason why you have to aim for target zero incidents/accidents is quite simple. Can you go to your co-workers and say "I hope that only five of you get injured this year"?
