7. Behaviour change can achieve safer practices
Twenty years into the HIV pandemic, knowledge of HIV among patients and health care workers
in some countries has driven consumer demand for safe injection equipment and irreversibly
improved injection practices. With growing knowledge of HCV and HBV, similar patterns of
consumer demand for safe injections should emerge. HIV prevention programmes can be
expanded to include injection safety components.

Consumer demand drives safety in Romania
In the early 1990s, world headlines told of Romanian orphans dying of
AIDS due to unsafe injection practices.The resulting outcry, both
nationally and internationally, created a high level of awareness.
By 1998,98% of the population were knowledgeable about the risks of
HIV from unsafe injections' and reuse of dirty injection equipment was
eliminated.
Injection-associated HIV infection is no longer reported from Romania.

2. Provision of supplies works
Simply increasing the availability of safe injection equipment can stimulate demand and improve
practices. Because the cost of safe disposable syringes is low (less than 5 US cents per unit) when
compared to the fee paid for receiving an injection (50 US cents on average), patients are usually
willing to pay a little extra for safety once they personalize the risks.

can be achieved
As waste disposal is frequently not an
integral part of health planning, unsafe
waste management is common. However,
when it is appropriately planned, significant
results ensue.
Technical tools are now available to assist
countries to develop and implement simple
plans. National waste management strate

Commitment to planning brings results in Cote d'Ivoire
An assessment conducted in 2000 in Cote d'Ivoire' examined 11 health care facilities.Three had
good health care waste management practices while the others had contaminated sharps in their
environment.The three facilities with good practices had decided to take responsibility for waste
management, both in terms of waste collection and waste disposal. Closed sharps boxes were pro
vided to each department and all waste was taken for incineration.The key success factor was hav
ing a fully managed plan for sharps waste management.

Safe and appropriate use of injections
are within our grasp
Unsafe injection practices are often viewed as a chronic problem with no easy
solutions. However, safe and appropriate use of injections can be achieved by
adopting a three part strategy:
1. Changing behaviour of health
care workers and patients.
2. Ensuring availability
of equipment and
supplies.
3. Managing waste safely and
appropriately.
Call for action
Ministries of health can develop national policies and plans
for safe and appropriate use of injections, with appropriate
budgeting and financing.

Unsafe injection practices
- a plague of many health systems
Hepatitis C virus - Unsafe injections are the most
common cause of HCV infection in developing and
transitional countries, causing two million new
infections each year and accounting for 42% of cases.
A safe injection does no harm. Yet breaks in infection control
practices are common, causing severe infections which put
human lives at risk.
Reuse of syringes and needles in the absence of sterilization
exposes millions of people to infection.
The proportion of injections given with syringes or needles
reused without sterilization ranges from 1.5% to 69.4% in
transitional and developing countries.
Injections given with sterile and unsafe equipment worldwide
Human immunodeficiency virus - Globally nearly
2 % of ail new HIV infections are caused by unsafe
injections, with a total of 96 000 people infected
annually. In South Asia up to 9% of new cases may be
caused in this way. Such proportions can no longer
be ignored.
Fear of HIV is a powerful motivation to engage
patients and health care workers in safer injection
practices.

- a dangerous engine of disease
Unsafe injection practices are a powerful engine to transmit
bloodborne pathogens, including hepatitis B virus (HBV),
hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV). Because infection with these viruses initially presents
no symptoms, it is a silent epidemic. However, the conse
quences of this silent epidemic are increasingly recognized.
Hepatitis B virus - HBV is highly infectious and
causes the heaviest burden of disease: unsafe injections
account for 33% of new HBV infections in developing and
transitional countries, with a total of 21.7 million people
infected each year.
HBV, HCV and HIV cause chronic infections that lead to
disease, disability and death a number of years after the
unsafe injection.Those infected with hepatitis B virus in
childhood will typically present with chronic liver
disease by the age of 30, at the prime of their life.This has
a dramatic effect on national economies. A recent study'
indicated that each year unsafe injections cause an
estimated 1.3 million early deaths, a loss of 26 million
years of life and an annual burden of USS 535 million in
direct medical costs.

WELCOME TO AUSTRIA, EUROPE
As Federal President of the Republic of Austria I have accepted with pleasure the patronage of the
"7th World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion" to be held in 2004 in Vienna.
For many years I have followed attentively the international scientific activities in this field,
which are also reflected in meetings and congresses in Austria. And I am glad that the relevant
issue of risk and injury prevention will be discussed in Vienna. Our modern world, which - through
communication and technology - has made life much easier for us, has unfortunately also lead to
a multiplication of the risks and threats with which we have to live, a fact too little noticed and
inadequately investigated so far. It has thus also become increasingly necessary to analyse the wide
realm that has opened itself in the field of risk prevention. I hope that the result of this World
Conference will contribute to making questions of safety and injury prevention a central issue, thus
reducing the risks faced by human beings.
Welcome to Vienna in 2004!
Dr. Thomas Klestil
Federal President of the Republic of Austria
Honorary Chair of Conference
SAFETY 2004: THE AGENDA
Injuries: Whether inflicted through war, violence within the family or in the streets, injuries we
inflict on ourselves, catastrophes or road accidents, at work or in our leisure time - from childhood
to the middle of adult life - injuries are the number one cause of death worldwide. As a result,
many victims become physically or mentally disabled for life.
The challenge: Although injuries significantly impact the public health field, injury analysis, the
development and testing of counter-measures and the implementation of extensive health policy
programmes have rarely been dealt with until recently. Furthermore few researchers at univer
sities and scientific institutes are working in the field of injury prevention and safety promotion.
The publication of the WHO report 'Injury - a leading cause of the global burden of disease'
signals a significant change.
The opportunities: Injuries are avoidable, especially if we take appropriate measures to change
the conditions under which people live, work and play. Injury prevention interventions require the
participation of various fields, ranging from labour and traffic policy to consumer protection, social
and health policy. Numerous examples indicate that solutions are possible, but these are often not
put into practice. When injury prevention is systematically integrated, as for work safety, we are
able to record a spectacular reduction in the number of injuries.
Inequalities: There are significant inequalities in safety between different spheres of life, pop
ulation groups and countries. It is a central task to analyse these differences, find the best practical
solutions and to implement these in order to bridge the gap for all people affected. Another impor
tant task is injury and risk analysis in order to find innovative ways to achieve even more safety.
The basis: Six successful world conferences from Stockholm 1989 to Montreal 2002 have created
a structure in which to pursue interests and to motivate both researchers and practitioners. This is
www.safety2004.info
the basis for discovering more common ground between the different fields, ranging from violence
prevention to suicide and injury prevention. In many cases the strategies employed are similar and
the efforts in gathering and analysing data can be shared. We have a common goal and there are
considerable political and practical gains when we combine to impact health policy.
The goals: The Vienna Conference will present the latest scientific research in the field of injury
prevention and safety promotion. The leading specialists in the field engaged in scientific analysis,
field work and policy making will be present, in order to strengthen the links between research,
practice and politics. Our aim is to raise the awareness of the importance of decision-makers in
health policy and how this affects the field as a whole, as well as discuss themes of global interest.
Violence Prevention: The WHO report on violence and health published in October 2002
revealed the extent of violence as a widespread and multi-causal social phenomenon, as well as
the many forms of violence different nations and groups are exposed to. The report clearly shows
that measures taken by police and justice, in addition to other governmental programmes and
initiatives of the civil society is imperative. The Vienna Conference will actually be a world con
ference on violence prevention.
Child Safety: The World Health Day in April 2004 will underline the importance of a safe environ
ment for children. Children in particular require a high degree of protection as they represent
worldwide a group highly affected by injuries, in frequency as well as in seriousness of the injury.
Childhood is the life period for learning to deal with danger and in this period lifelong attitudes are
formed, such as high or low respect for health and safety for both oneself and other persons. The
Vienna Conference will be a world conference on child safety.
Traffic Safety: The World Health Day 2004 in April 2004 will be dedicated to raising awareness
of traffic accidents which lead worldwide to an increasing number of casualties due to the spreading
of motorization. The WHO-report on this new 'pandemia' will be available by 2004. The Vienna
Conference will be the first opportunity to put this report on the agenda for discussion. The special
nature of traffic safety requires the interaction of different professional fields such as technological,
psychological, educational and legal organizations. The Vienna Conference will be a world con
ference on traffic safety.
The Vienna World Conference: The Conference will also pay due attention to other central
issues of injury prevention and safety prevention such as safety and health at work, suicide pre
vention, reducing falls in older persons, safety in sport activities, consumer safety, prevention
against disaster, war and terrorism, and trauma care for injured persons. Special symposia will
demonstrate the newest information in all of these different working fields. The Vienna Conference
will be a world conference on injury prevention and safety promotion.

HOST CITY
Vienna is a city on which its ever-changing history has left an indelible mark, manifested also
in the rich cultural heritage. The city's most ultimate fascination stems from combining imperial
grandeur with the explosive modernity that emerged from the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian
Empire. Viennese writers, musicians, artists and scientists forged a new direction for the modern
world in every field. It played its role in all the political visions that have plagued and moved the
20th century. Today Vienna offers old historical palaces and modern shopping centers, traditional
hotels as well as cosy guest houses, Austrian food and haute cuisine, Viennese coffee houses,
opera performances and jazz sessions, classical concerts and open-air festivals, antique shops as
well as elegant boutiques - all these contrasts are harmonized into something peculiarly Viennese.
HOW TO GET TO VIENNA
Vienna is situated in the heart of Central Europe and easy linked to all major European and
international cities by direct flights of different airlines. Vienna has one international airport, which
is served by some 50 airlines. The Airport Wien-Schwechat is located 15 km east of downtown
Vienna. Buses, train, limousines and taxis provide quick, efficient shuttle service between the air
port, the city's downtown and it's major hotels, e.g. with the airport bus (from 6 a.m. to midnight

WELCOME TO AUSTRIA, EUROPE
As Federal President of the Republic of Austria I have accepted with pleasure the patronage of the
"7th World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion" to be held in 2004 in Vienna.
For many years I have followed attentively the international scientific activities in this field,
which are also reflected in meetings and congresses in Austria. And I am glad that the relevant
issue of risk and injury prevention will be discussed in Vienna. Our modern world, which - through
communication and technology - has made life much easier for us, has unfortunately also lead to
a multiplication of the risks and threats with which we have to live, a fact too little noticed and
inadequately investigated so far. It has thus also become increasingly necessary to analyse the wide
realm that has opened itself in the field of risk prevention. I hope that the result of this World
Conference will contribute to making questions of safety and injury prevention a central issue, thus
reducing the risks faced by human beings.
Welcome to Vienna in 2004!
Dr. Thomas Klestil
Federal President of the Republic of Austria
Honorary Chair of Conference
SAFETY 2004: THE AGENDA
Injuries: Whether inflicted through war, violence within the family or in the streets, injuries we
inflict on ourselves, catastrophes or road accidents, at work or in our leisure time - from childhood
to the middle of adult life - injuries are the number one cause of death worldwide. As a result,
many victims become physically or mentally disabled for life.
The challenge: Although injuries significantly impact the public health field, injury analysis, the
development and testing of counter-measures and the implementation of extensive health policy
programmes have rarely been dealt with until recently. Furthermore few researchers at univer
sities and scientific institutes are working in the field of injury prevention and safety promotion.
The publication of the WHO report 'Injury - a leading cause of the global burden of disease'
signals a significant change.
The opportunities: Injuries are avoidable, especially if we take appropriate measures to change
the conditions under which people live, work and play. Injury prevention interventions require the
participation of various fields, ranging from labour and traffic policy to consumer protection, social
and health policy. Numerous examples indicate that solutions are possible, but these are often not
put into practice. When injury prevention is systematically integrated, as for work safety, we are
able to record a spectacular reduction in the number of injuries.
Inequalities: There are significant inequalities in safety between different spheres of life, pop
ulation groups and countries. It is a central task to analyse these differences, find the best practical
solutions and to implement these in order to bridge the gap for all people affected. Another impor
tant task is injury and risk analysis in order to find innovative ways to achieve even more safety.
The basis: Six successful world conferences from Stockholm 1989 to Montreal 2002 have created
a structure in which to pursue interests and to motivate both researchers and practitioners. This is
1
www.safety2004.info
the basis for discovering more common ground between the different fields, ranging from violence
prevention to suicide and injury prevention. In many cases the strategies employed are similar and
the efforts in gathering and analysing data can be shared. We have a common goal and there are
considerable political and practical gains when we combine to impact health policy.
The goals: The Vienna Conference will present the latest scientific research in the field of injury
prevention and safety promotion. The leading specialists in the field engaged in scientific analysis,
field work and policy making will be present, in order to strengthen the links between research,
practice and politics. Our aim is to raise the awareness of the importance of decision-makers in
health policy and how this affects the field as a whole, as well as discuss themes of global interest.
Violence Prevention: The WHO report on violence and health published in October 2002
revealed the extent of violence as a widespread and multi-causal social phenomenon, as well as
the many forms of violence different nations and groups are exposed to. The report clearly shows
that measures taken by police and justice, in addition to other governmental programmes and
initiatives of the civil society is imperative. The Vienna Conference will actually be a world con
ference on violence prevention.
Child Safety: The World Health Day in April 2004 will underline the importance of a safe environ
ment for children. Children in particular require a high degree of protection as they represent
worldwide a group highly affected by injuries, in frequency as well as in seriousness of the injury.
Childhood is the life period for learning to deal with danger and in this period lifelong attitudes are
formed, such as high or low respect for health and safety for both oneself and other persons. The
Vienna Conference will be a world conference on child safety.
Traffic Safety: The World Health Day 2004 in April 2004 will be dedicated to raising awareness
of traffic accidents which lead worldwide to an increasing number of casualties due to the spreading
of motorization. The WHO-report on this new 'pandemia' will be available by 2004. The Vienna
Conference will be the first opportunity to put this report on the agenda for discussion. The special
nature of traffic safety requires the interaction of different professional fields such as technological,
psychological, educational and legal organizations. The Vienna Conference will be a world con
ference on traffic safety.
The Vienna World Conference: The Conference will also pay due attention to other central
issues of injury prevention and safety prevention such as safety and health at work, suicide pre
vention, reducing falls in older persons, safety in sport activities, consumer safety, prevention
against disaster, war and terrorism, and trauma care for injured persons. Special symposia will
demonstrate the newest information in all of these different working fields. The Vienna Conference
will be a world conference on injury prevention and safety promotion.

you have seen Vienna. Following the guided tour is a visit to the coffeehouse in the Leopold

FUCHS-VILLA
Otto Wagner, the famous Jugendstil architect, built a summerhouse for himself and his family

year round from 1895 until Otto Wagner sold it to the former owner of the Variete Ronacher, Ben
Tiber in 1911, after Wagner's children had left home and the house had become too large for him.
It is thanks to Ernst Fuchs that the Villa has been saved from destruction and opened up to the
public as a museum - hence the name of the Villa which is known today as the "Fuchs Villa".

HOST CITY
Vienna is a city on which its ever-changing history has left an indelible mark, manifested also
in the rich cultural heritage. The city's most ultimate fascination stems from combining imperial
. \
\
\
F-- J
f
grandeur with the explosive modernity that emerged from the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian
Empire. Viennese writers, musicians, artists and scientists forged a new direction for the modern
world in every field. It played its role in all the political visions that have plagued and moved the
20th century. Today Vienna offers old historical palaces and modern shopping centers, traditional
hotels as well as cosy guest houses, Austrian food and haute cuisine, Viennese coffee houses,
opera performances and jazz sessions, classical concerts and open-air festivals, antique shops as
well as elegant boutiques - all these contrasts are harmonized into something peculiarly Viennese.
HOW TO GET TO VIENNA
Vienna is situated in the heart of Central Europe and easy linked to all major European and
international cities by direct flights of different airlines. Vienna has one international airport, which
is served by some 50 airlines. The Airport Wien-Schwechat is located 15 km east of downtown
Vienna. Buses, train, limousines and taxis provide quick, efficient shuttle service between the air
port, the city's downtown and it's major hotels, e.g. with the airport bus (from 6 a.m. to midnight
every 20 minutes) to the City Air Terminal at the Vienna Hilton Hotel in 20-30 minutes. Please
contact the airport website www.viennaairport.com for further information regarding transfer
services, airport information, flight schedules etc. From the train stations (Westbahnhof, Sudbahnhof, Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof and Nordbahnhof), the city centre may be reached by express train
(Schnellbahn), underground or tram.
