Working together for accident and injury prevention

"Multiagency working is often regarded as the universal panacea in accident and injury prevention. There is no doubt that it is important, but it should be remembered that it is only a tool that allows programs to be implemented. It is not an end in itself. One still has to identify the problems, choose the most appropriate countermeasures and implement them as well as possible. Then we might see accidents and injuries continuing to be reduced".
