Safety Promotion as part of Health Promotion<br />
Johan Lund<br />
Injuries are one of the main health problems globally,<br />
and is predicted to get higher on the list of<br />
DALYs (Disability adjusted life years) for the 20<br />
leading causes in 2030 than in 2002. Injuries are<br />
divided into accidental injuries, selfinflicted injuries,<br />
injuries from violence and injuries from war<br />
and legal interventions. Accidental injuries is the<br />
main group of injuries.<br />
A danger or hazard is the origin of accidents.<br />
Dangers are everywhere, more or less ìdangerousî.<br />
Sometimes we seek dangers voluntarily, <strong>som</strong>etimes<br />
they are a part of the daily routine, <strong>som</strong>etimes<br />
they are forced upon us. There are obviously<br />
a social gradient with regards to which dangers we<br />
have to face, both as nations and groups within a<br />
nation. An overview of different strategies on how<br />
to avoid accidents and injuries will be presented.<br />
Two strategies will be highlighted here:<br />
1) Remove the danger, mostly connected to<br />
injury prevention.<br />
2) Train for mastering dangers, mostly connected<br />
to safety promorion.<br />
The headings of the bi-annually international<br />
conferences in this field have been and still are:<br />
Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion.<br />
Most focus, though, has been and is on ìInjury<br />
Preventionî.<br />
Injury prevention has a connotation of rules, regulation,<br />
hindrances, lack of freedom. Safety promotion<br />
might have more ìpositiveî connotations as<br />
development and mastering. Examples of Safety<br />
Promotion activities will be given. The challenge<br />
is to increase safety promotion activities in our effort<br />
on reducing the number of accidents.<br />
