Abstract
With the help of official documents 198 fatal occupational accidents that occurred in Sweden in 1973 have been analyzed. The aims of the study were to find out: (1) The optimal effect of increased use of personal safety-equipment and (2) How many lives may be saved by better rescue-preparedness and optimal medical care? The results are that in one third of the cases personal safety equipment offers significant protection against a fatal outcome. Proper action after a severe accident has taken place could reduce fatalities by about one sixth.
