what causes distractions
1 Smoking related â 1%. Only one in a hundred accidents is related to lighting a cigarette, smoking or putting it out.  Moving objects â 1%.

Whether youâre worrying, daydreaming, or chatting, mental distractions can be likened to hazards or defects in machines that you need to secure with âguardsâ.
