Abstract

Of the over 3000 people killed in Switzerland through accidents, some 1300 die on the roads, 600 to 700 lose their lives as a result of accidents in the home, and a further number are killed in sporting accidents. these nonindustrial accidents are described in terms of their epidemiology and causes. In addition measures are discussed for preventing accidents in these three areas. At the center of the problems of traffic accidents are those caused by alcohol, the readiness of young people to take risks, and the orientation problems of children and the elderly. In sport, skiing accidents are very common, also falls in the home.
