The municipality should work to ensure that prevention is integrated as part of the regular daily activities.

Prior to the development of the accident prevention program, the Council for Safe and Secure specified direction for the task of drafting the program and decided which accident areas that the program should contain. The focus has been based on the municipality's risk and vulnerabilityanalysis, previously risk inventories and available statistics on accidents and fires. A starting point in the development of the program is that the program is an important basis for the certification of the municipality as a safe community.

The Council has stated that a broad approach should be pursued and that the program should include the following accident areas:• Fire• Floods and high flows• Traffic• Fall Accidents• Water Accidents• Chemical

Mediation

Mediation is a voluntary meeting between a young person who committed the crime and the victim of the crime. The meeting takes place together with an impartial mediator. The purpose of mediation is to reduce the negative consequences of a crime. The victim will be able to process their experiences and ask questions to the offender. The offender may, in turn, get the opportunity to increase awareness of the consequences of the crime. It is primarily the police, social services or probation that suggests when it may be appropriate to mediate. The request may also come from victim support, school, parents or by the parties themselves. Municipalities offer mediation in the first place when the offender is 12-21 years. The crime must be reported to the police and the offender should have admitted involvement in the offense. Mediation presupposes that both parties voluntarily wish to participate in mediation. The mediator first meet the offender and the victim separately for detailed review how the meeting goes on, and to find out how the parties' approach to meeting. After the first meeting with the mediator, the parties can decide whether they want to implement a mediation or not. When both parties decided that they want to meet, the time for a meeting is set. The mediator also has contact with police and prosecutors so that the mediation meeting takes place at the appropriate time, given the legal process. Mediation does not replace the legal process.

Section Gindicator 55.1 What localedata ice Used to DETERMINE the injury prevention strategies? (100) Which methods are distressed in the community?

Hallstahammars Municipality uses a variety of sources and databases to monitor the current statistics in the field of safety and security. Mainly, the following sources is used.

• The MSB's statistical database (IDA Indicators / Data / Analysis) is monitored for accidents.• The Transport Agency's database STRADA is monitored by traffic accidents.• Emergency response operations within the municipality reported from Mälardalen Fire and Rescue Association.• Using the National Council for Crime Prevention (BRÅ) database regarding crimes reported.• Systems for internal incident and accident reporting• A model for monitoring of local injury statistics are planned along with the health center in Hallstahammar. From the statistics it shall be possible to monitor different types of accidents, geographic distribution, distribution by sex, etc.

5.2 Describe how the data are Presented in Order to Promote Safety and preventable injuries in the community. (150)

The statistics are monitored in a variety of forums and contexts. The statistics presents, based on availability, in different shapes and comparisons. Comparisons can for example be related to the outcome for the country or the region andnbetween years. In connection with the presentations various possible causes of outcomes and suggest measures to reduce damage in the municipality is discussed.

Monitoring takes place annually in the context of the accident prevention program on statistics from the IDA and STRADA. Regarding the IDA statistics is followed up in the fields of traffic accidents, falls, drowning, chemical accidents in traffic. Each responsible management accounts for the effectiveness of its performance targets for the responsible board and the municipal goverment on two occasions during the year. An account is also done for the Council for a safe community and the working groups.

Statistics from the crime prevention counsil is used in the monitoring of the police-community program.

The SC Committee periodically asses and evaluate the data. Some data comes several times a year, while other data are reported less frequently.

boards are responsible for their respective areas and to analys and take action when necessary.

The cross-functional working groups have a particular responsibility in the work to follow up, analyze and propose measures within the organization. Furthermore, the working groups is responsible for planning and coordinating decided efforts.

The municipality has for several years been working to reduce the number of fall injuries among elderly at home and in our homes for the elderly. Through the work with the Senior alert the knowledge of causes of falls among the elderly has increased. By following the number of medicins and reducing them we have been able to reduce fall injuries. Many old people fall in there homes due to fall from chairs when they change the curtains, fall on sliding carpets etc. Hallstahammar have through our home visitis (to all 75 years and older) och the Fixerservice reduced these cases through information, practical free help and new constructions in their home (also Free).

Section Hindicator 66.1 How does your community, analyze results from the injury data to track trends and results from the program? What is working well and the HAS given you good results. What are the plans to continue? What Needs to be changed? (200)

Working group for Security and Preparedness coordinates the monitoring and evaluation of accident and injury development in the municipality. Monitoring is done both considering intervals specified in various policy documents but also based on a more daily basis. At the working group's monthly meetings the participants present recent events from there area. For example, the police decribes if they have noticed any particular trends on crime. Similarly, MBR reports alarms and call-outs the latest month.

No statistical source gives a sufficiently comprehensive picture of the injury panorama of the municipality. From the MSB's statistical database IDA data is collected on injuries and deaths resulting from accidents and is often a good base to start from. Then various accident areas are complemented with injury data from other databases or local sources. When it comes to cases of accidents, for example, statistics is used from STRADA to catch falling accidents in the external environment, as well as figures from the eldercare operations.

Traffic accidents are analyzed using statistics from STRADA supplemented with the rescue internal systems and documentation from the municipality's technical administration.

Even in the case of fires the rescue statistics is completed with input from municipal operations. Everything in order to obtain as complete picture as possible.

In the near future the municipality is planning to establish a local injury registration togheter with the medical center that captures the injuries for those who are not visiting an emergency room.

Senior Alert is a web based tool where various parameters relating to older people's health are recorded and monitored. Reports are presented to the system. Reconciliation takes place twice a year to Inspectorate for Health Care (IVO). Through the work of Senior Alert the number of wrong medications have decreased, the number of cases of fall injuries have decreased, the number of bedsore injuries have decreased, the dental status among the elderly have been improved and the cases of malnutrition among the elderly have been reduced.

additional study and data are required to determine the locations (even more exactly) in which these injuries occur-are they taking place on the jobs, in the homes, or outside, in nature or in the traffic environment?

The differences between the genders and injuries have to be investigated further. The gender gap is particularly noticeable among children and adults. but like many municipalities Hallstahammar have achieved a good reduction in injuries over the past decade, and more recent injury data tends to follow national patterns. Within the

municipality´s special focus areas some extra favorable development have been seen. Some of these are described above.

6.2 Describe how the results from the program evaluations are distressed (200)

The follow-ups are used as a basis for traffic measures, fire prevention, preventative measures concerning cases of fallaccidents and as support in establishing the municipality's overall risk and vulnerabilityanalysis. It is also used for identifying the training needs within the municipal administrations.

6.3 Describe the changes in pattern of injuries, attitudes, behavior and knowledge of the Risks for injuries as a result of the program. (200)

Most injuries in Hallstahammar and in Sweden occurs nowadays in home and leisure environments. partly for the reason that traffic and work has become safer than before. this is especially accurate among the elderly that are more vulnerable to falls in their living environment, but also children and adults are often damaged in playing, recreation and work at home and leisure environments. Existing data shows that the number if injuries decreases over time but that certain groups in society requires special measures and actions. With an aging population there will also come an increased frequency of injurys due to fall accidents, fires in homes and slipping accidents outside.

Social Services conducts an annual follow-ups of fall reports within the municipal accommodation and homeservices activities based on the task of Senior Alert. The social service's annual report shows that there is a decline in the number of fall reports over time. Likewise, the number of fractures as a result of a fall decreases.

Possible reasons highlighted by the Social Services Department is that the work with Senior Alert has begun to gain momentum, with various forms of action to prevent falls and fall injuries. For example, the physiotherapists and occupational therapists are ordinating more hip pants and staff are more aware of "traps" such as carpets, bad shoes and poor lighting.

Symptoms prior falls such as anxiety, confusion, and dizziness / balance problems are still problems causes many falls. Most people who´s slipping on the floor, is slipping in daytime. The damage caused is bruising, scratching, small wounds, sprains, as well as fear and anxiety of falling again.
