Dear Ranu Barnwal.
In a broader sense there are only two types of accidents - accidents without injuries and accidents with injuries (includes damages too). For a safety man accident remains the same though result being different. There will be no end to a debate if you go on taking up this topic seriously.
For administrative reasons there can be industrial accidents, construction accidents, maritime accidents, road accidents, accidents at schools, forest accidents, desert accidents, accidents at public places, homes and so on. Like some politicians if you start taking nonsense about kinds and classification of accidents it will be never ending. To end such nonsense in 1962 the Tenth International Conference of Labor Statisticians convened by ILO recommended that, for the study of circumstances surrounding industrial accidents these accidents should be classified as follows:
A. Classification of Industrial Accidents according to Type of Accident.
1. Fall of Persons,
2. Struck by falling objects
3. Stepping on, striking against, or struck by objects excluding falling objects
4. Caught in or between objects
5. Over exertion or strenuous movements
6. Exposure to or contact with extreme temperature
7. Exposure to or contact with electric current
8. Exposure to or contact with harmful substances or radiation
9. Other types of accidents, not elsewhere classified , including accidents not classified for lack of sufficient data.
B. Classification of Industrial Accidents according to Agency
C. Classification of Industrial Accidents according to Other Equipment
D. Classification of Industrial Accidents according to Materials, substances and Radiation.
E. Classification of Industrial Accidents according to the Nature of Injury
F. Classification of Industrial Accidents according to the Bodily Location of the Injury
This multiple classification system takes into account that an accident is rarely due to a single factor, but is generally the result of a concurrence of factors. The type of type of accident classification identifies the event which directly resulted in the injury, it indicates how the object or substance causing the injury entered into contact with the injured person and is often regarded as the key to analysis problems. The classification according to agency may be used for classifying either the agency related to the injury or agency related to the accident. Obviously more information can be obtained if industrial accidents are classified according to both concepts, however for accident prevention purposes the classification according to agency is more important. The classification according to the nature and bodily location of the injury are designed to provide the necessary information for a detailed analysis.
Based on the ILO classification Indian standards also have the classification per IS 3786 - 1983 Methods For Computation Of Frequency And Severity Rates For Industrial Injuries And Classification of Industrial Accidents.
There are very many useful classification if you are a student in the field.
Hope you got what you asked for.
