Injury prevention is a collaborative effort to prevent or reduce the severity of bodily injuries caused by accidents, before they occur. Injury prevention is a component of health and safety, and its goal is to improve the health of the workplace by preventing injuries and hence improving quality of life.

The term “accidental injury” is often used. However, “accidental” implies the causes of injuries are random in nature. researchers use the term “unintentional injury” to refer to injuries that are preventable. Within the field of  health and safety, efforts are also made to prevent or reduce “intentional injury.” Data collected over the years show unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death from early childhood until middle adulthood. During these years, unintentional injuries account for more deaths than the  leading causes of death combined.

Illness and Injury prevention strategies cover a variety of approaches, many of which are classified as falling under the “4 E’s” of injury prevention:

Evaluation of Hazards

Engineering Controls

Education & Training
