Objective. To describe the changes in injury mortality from 1978 to 1991 and determine the number of preventable deaths with currently available intervention strategies. Methods. Comparison of injury mortality data for children and adolescents 0 to 19 years in 1978 and 1991. Review of the literature to determine the effectiveness of currently available prevention strategies and application of these to deaths in 1991. Results. The injury death rate declined by 26% over the 14-year period. Death rates of unintentional injuries decreased by 39%, with declines in all categories of unintentional injuries. Homicides increased by 67% and suicides by 17%; nearly all of this increase was in deaths from firearms. If currently available prevention strategies were fully used, 6640 deaths could have been prevented, a further 31% decrease. Conclusions. Although great strides have been made in preventing deaths from trauma, the application of currently available prevention strategies could save a large number of additional lives. However, the increasing problem of intentional injury will partly counterbalance the success in unintentional injury control.

Injury Control

This chapter describes occupational injuries and their prevention. It describes in detail the causes of injuries and epidemiology of injuries. Occupational injuries are caused by acute exposure in the workplace to safety hazards, such as mechanical energy, electricity, chemicals, and ionizing radiation, or from the sudden lack of essential agents, such as oxygen or heat. This chapter describes the nature and the magnitude of occupational injuries in the United States. It provides data on risk of injuries in different occupations and industries. Finally, it discusses prevention of injuries, using a hierarchical approach to occupational injury control.
