Letter: Safety first

From Mr James Tye

Sir: The heading of your article on health and safety courses ("Accidents will happen, but not quite so often", 23 February) is not correct. They don't happen, they are caused, and our job on all of our training courses is to teach what these causes are and how they can be overcome.

Yours sincerely,

JAMES TYE

Director General

British Safety Council
