After an accident or near miss, it is vital that responsible parties review the incident to find out what went wrong and how it could have been avoided.  The goal of an accident investigation is not to place blame, but to enable corrective action to prevent future injury.  Once the investigation is completed, the results should be shared with all employees.  It can be particularly effective to have the injured employee make the presentation, telling his peers not only what he did, but also what he could have done differently.

During the employee's presentation, he may also want to discuss how the accident impacted his life.  It is tough sometimes to make employees care about the impact the accident had on your company's profitability, but they will sit up and take notice when an employee tells them about the life-altering changes their spouses and kids may have gone through as a result of their injuries. 

Ask your each employee to think about the last time someone in his home was ill.  Ask them to remember how everyone’s schedule had to be adjusted to take up the slack or to tend to the ill person.  Ask them to imagine if it had been an injury with a long recovery period or a fatal accident.  What might their families have had to deal with?

You may also want to post a visual representation of the accidents incurred at your facility.  For example, you can post a drawing of a worker, with a bandage on each body part that has been injured over the past year.  Even though each accident may seem minor, the cumulative effect of many injuries can be seen clearly as the drawing becomes covered in Band-Aids.
