What are the two main categories of accident costs?

Direct and Intangible
Direct and Indirect
Material and Labor
Immediate and Long-term

The correct answer is: Direct and Indirect

The two main categories of accident costs are represented by direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are those that can be specifically attributed to an accident, such as medical expenses, compensation for lost work time, and repair or replacement of damaged equipment. These costs are straightforward and can be easily quantified. Indirect costs, on the other hand, are less tangible and may not be immediately associated with the accident but still have a significant financial impact. These can include factors such as loss of productivity, training costs for new personnel or temporary workers, and damage to a company's reputation. Together, direct and indirect costs represent the full financial burden of workplace accidents, reinforcing the importance of safety measures to minimize risk and protect workers and organizations alike.
