The MSB (Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency) has, as one of its tasks, support of safety of the elderly both locally and nationally. The work aims to halt the negative trend in the increasing numbers of fatalities and injuries resulting from accidents. By funding research on accidents (especially falls) amongst the elderly, the MSB is able to provide municipalities and local authorities with strategies and guidelines for accident prevention/safety promotion work. The MSB collates statistics and information describing injury trends amongst the elderly. The MSB also provides a forum for municipalities to share good examples of each other’s accident prevention/safety promotion work, www.msb.se/exempelkatalogen.
