Injuries have causes --

they don't simply befall us from fate or
bad luck.

To prevent injuries it is necessary to have information about the factors that
contribute to their occurrence. With this information we may understand the
options for prevention. Effective injury prevention requires a multifaceted,
multidisciplinary approach.


What's in SafetyLit?

SafetyLit provides abstracts of reports from researchers who work in the more
than 30 distinct professional disciplines relevant to preventing and researching
unintentional injuries, violence, and self-harm. Among these are agriculture,
anthropology, architecture, economics, education, engineering specialties,
ergonomics and human factors, faith scholars, health and medicine, law and law
enforcement, psychology, social work, sociology, and other fields.

SafetyLit Mission

The mission of SafetyLit is to provide a free comprehensive, easy-to-use,
searchable, Internet-based bibliographic database of scholarly journal articles,
technical reports, and theses concerning all issues of safety arising from many
professional disciplines and nations. The items will be indexed in a way that
access to information by policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and the
general public will not be hindered by obscure professional jargon or arcane
search terms.

What's in a word: "Accident" "Injury" "Trauma" ...?


In the English language each of these words is used as a technical term for what
is defined above as "injury". There is no single all-encompassing best term for
that concept.

Each word has similar and different connotations. The issue is compounded when
the word preferences of different professional disciplines is considered and
further complicated when everyday usage by non-professionals is considered.

Since the mid-19th century much has been written -- sometimes formal and
academic other times quite emotional -- about these word preferences and their
subtile connotations.

Injury Definition

For the purposes of SafetyLit, an injury is defined as any unintentional or
intentional damage to the body resulting from acute exposure to chemical,
electromagnetic, kinetic, nuclear, or thermal energy or from the absence of
essentials such as heat or oxygen. Refer to this further discussion for more
about the word usage issue.
