Injury Prevention
Injury prevention refers to active and passive measures implemented to reduce the risk of a person getting injured or suffering an illness. The focus is on eliminating or minimising potential hazards that could cause physical harm, and to ensure those exposed to potential hazards are aware of the risks and know how to protect themselves. Injury prevention has numerous applications, from home and workplace safety protocols to vehicular safety regulations. It is essential for promoting health and welfare, and is especially important when caring for vulnerable populations such as children and elderly people.
