EUROSAFE
EuroSafe builds on the foundation of the former ECOSA by bringing together the diverse injury areas and profiling the overall burden of injury and the challenges to safety promotion within national and European policies.
Eurosafe tries to reduce both intentional and unintentional fatal and non-fatal injuries through increased coordination and strategies that combine and build upon existing strengths and capacities.
Strategy
Eurosafe’s strategy is to create a sustainable network of experts and dedicated organisations to increase co-ordination in the injury field at European level. This is being achieved by:
- strengthening the professional field;
- building a professional infrastructure that works collaboratively and reduces duplication of efforts;
- having transparent rules of operation that are widely accepted and adhered to by members;
- operating activities driven by a clear business cycle. /li>
The European Injury Database (IDB) is based on a systematic injury surveillance system that collects accident and injury data from selected emergency departments of Member State hospitals, providing a complement to and integrating existing data sources, such as routine causes of death statistics, hospital discharge registers and data sources specific to injury areas, including road accidents and accidents at work.
IDB is hosted by the European Commission, and was set up by DG SANCO under the Injury Prevention Programme in 1999, in order to provide central access to the data collected in the Member States under the EHLASS Programme (European Home and Leisure Accident Surveillance System).
The European Injury Database is the only data source in the EU that contains standardised cross-national data for developing preventive action against the rising tide of home and leisure accidents in Europe. The purpose of the database is to facilitate targeted injury prevention and improve consumer safety in the Member States and at EU level by contributing to a comprehensive overview of the injury spectrum within the Community, and to facilitate comparisons among Member States, through trans-national aggregation and harmonization of data, and through reporting and identification of best practice (benchmarking).
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from more than 15,000 types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $800 billion annually. The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard or can injure children.
CPSC’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) is a national probability sample of hospitals in the U.S. and its territories. Patient information is collected from each NEISS hospital for every emergency visit involving an injury associated with consumer products. From this sample, the total number of product-related injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms nationwide can be estimated. This web access to NEISS allows certain estimates to be retrieved on-line. These estimates can be focused by setting some or all of the following variables (and an example of each):
- Date (one year maximum range; e.g., how many injuries were treated in 1996)
- Product (e.g., how many bicycle injuries occurred)
- Sex (e.g., how many injuries occurred to women)
- Age (e.g., how many injuries occurred to people aged 35-55)
- Diagnosis (e.g., how many lacerations occurred)
- Disposition (e.g., how many people were admitted to the hospital)
- Locale (e.g., how many injuries occurred at a school)
- Body part (e.g., how many injuries involved the knee)
CPSC uses code numbers to identify all products under the jurisdiction of the Commission. Product codes are used for accident, injury, and death reports that come to the Commission through various means, including the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), which obtains data from a statistically representative sample of hospital emergency rooms.

CPSC – Injury Statistics

WISQARSTM (Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System) is an interactive database system that provides customized reports of injury-related data.
It is managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services which is the primary Federal agency for conducting and supporting public health activities in the United States.
Composed of the Office of the Director, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and six Coordinating Centers/ Offices, including environmental health and injury prevention, health information services, health promotion, infectious diseases, global health and terrorism preparedness and emergency response, CDC employs more than 14,000 employees in 40 countries and in 170 occupations.
