5 Foreword How time flies... Each year and for over 3 years, the bfu has issued a separate publication on accident statistics for non-occupational accidents. Since 29, this central reference work has been called STATUS. The data contained in STATUS helps the bfu and other prevention institutions to correctly assess the accident situation and to implement measures where needed. Exciting time series are created when data and evaluations are systemised over the years. In turn, these time series enable statements to be made on developments in accident situations. The development of road traffic fatalities is always impressive. In 1971, 1,773 people died on Swiss roads. Despite an increase in the volume of traffic, this number dropped to 216 in 216 the lowest it has been since The bfu is proud to have made a contribution with its commitment. The bfu is also proud of its long-standing partnerships in compiling STATUS: the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), the Central Office for Statistics in Accident Insurance (SSUV), the Federal Office for Spatial Development (ARE), the Federal Roads Office (ASTRA) and many more contribute to the fact that this statistics publication can be issued today as well as in a year s time. Many thanks! Brigitte Buhmann Managing Director, bfu

9 Non-occupational accidents Accidents are a challenge to public health. Approximately 1 million people are injured in non-occupational accidents in Switzerland every year, more than 2,3 fatally. In addition to pain and suffering, these accidents result in material costs amounting to more than 11 billion Swiss francs. The bfu is doing its utmost to prevent severe and fatal accidents.
