Disease, injury, material or psychological damage in relation to Homo Sapiens/environmental/societal systems
![Page 6: Injury Causation PhD course jan- febr 2008 Leif Svanström](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d3f5503460f94a186ea/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Causes of Injuries – Factors related to injuries
from
A. Physical Environment
B. Social Environment
C. Habits of Life
D.”Individual” Risk Factors
![Page 7: Injury Causation PhD course jan- febr 2008 Leif Svanström](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d3f5503460f94a186ea/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A. Physical Environment (Areas)1. Transport 2. Housing
3. Production , Commercial , Service 4. Public (School, Public facilities, Institutions)
5. Sports 6. Entertainment , Culture and Park
7. Nature8. Sea, Lake & River
![Page 8: Injury Causation PhD course jan- febr 2008 Leif Svanström](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d3f5503460f94a186ea/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1.Transport Area
Rules of thumb:
10-15% of All Injuries
Children: 60% of deceased, 15-19 years of age: 80%
- High Energy Content Involved

O-VISION
on traffic
What did You learn?

Prevention Demands
Co-operation Between Societal Sectors – Intersectoral work
Contribution from Voluntary Organizations – peoples participation
- Decentralized Work (A Safe Community)
![Page 11: Injury Causation PhD course jan- febr 2008 Leif Svanström](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d3f5503460f94a186ea/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Three Main Areas of Prevention
Separate Un-protected Road Users
Alcohol: 0 – tolerance
Decrease Average Speed
![Page 12: Injury Causation PhD course jan- febr 2008 Leif Svanström](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d3f5503460f94a186ea/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2. Housing Area30-40% of all injuries
Home Accidents: Happens in all Types of Homes and Every Kind of Dwelling as
Apartment, Villa, Outhouse, Garden & Yard. incl. Accidents on Farms, but un-related to Farming or Lumbering.
Children % Elderly Dominate:- Children in Different Stages of Development
- Fall Injuries- 75% of Injuries in the Elderly in Homes
![Page 13: Injury Causation PhD course jan- febr 2008 Leif Svanström](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d3f5503460f94a186ea/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
3.Production, Commercial, Service Areas
10-20 % of All Injuries
Mortal Injuries-Decrease of Mortal Injuries-Related to Transport Vehicles
-Falls-Falling Objects
-Machines
![Page 14: Injury Causation PhD course jan- febr 2008 Leif Svanström](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d3f5503460f94a186ea/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Most Dangerous Branches:
- Foreign and Coastal Shipping- Slaughter- Iron and Steel- Stowing- Metal Recycling (Non-Iron) out of Scrap- Butchery- Ship-Yard- Concrete Industry
Farming & Lumbering, Construction Industry, Transport are Branches with High Mortality Risk.
![Page 15: Injury Causation PhD course jan- febr 2008 Leif Svanström](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d3f5503460f94a186ea/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Environmental Exposure and Injuries
- Organic Solvents- Noise- Lighting- Climate- Heavy Physical Load
Transport Injuries within the Work Sector must be Noticed!
![Page 16: Injury Causation PhD course jan- febr 2008 Leif Svanström](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d3f5503460f94a186ea/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4. Public Area (School, Public facilities, Institutions)
About 10% of All Injuries
- School is more Dangerous to Children than Work to Grown-ups
- 7-9 Years: 1/3 of All Injuries;10-15 Years: ½ of All Injuries (Grown-ups: 1/3 are Work-related)
- Physical Education is 3 Times More Risky than Other Lessons. Basketball, Handball and Gymnastics and In-Door Soccer are most Common.

5. Sports Area15-20% of All Injuries - increasing
- Relatively Few Mortal Injuries
In Sweden:
- Folksam Insurance Company: 4% Leads to Invalidity- Per 1,000 Insured:
- Ice-Hockey 40.4- Handball 18.8- Basketball 9.9
- Bandy 7.8

8. Sea, Lake & River1-3% of All Injuries
- Has decreased the last 100 Years- Mostly Due to less Exposure
- The Number of Accidents are Halved the Same Time as the Number of Boats has been Doubled
- 6 out of 10 Deceased were Under Influence of Alcohol- ½ were doing Sports-Fishing
- Bigger Boats show fewer Mortal Injuries
![Page 21: Injury Causation PhD course jan- febr 2008 Leif Svanström](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d3f5503460f94a186ea/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
