At the national level it might be useful to utilise EuroSafe much more in the future, which also records information about accidents in private life (EuroSafe 2006). EuroSafe, the European Association for Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion, is a network of injury prevention champions dedicated to making Europe a safer place. Occupational health care systems in workplaces could have the proper expertise to utilise the systems provided by EuroSafe. Though there currently exists a national web portal of HLA in Finland (TapaturmaportaaU 2008), the significance of HLA, especially at work places, needs a new type of statistics and effective media to communicate the real, total accident figures. This would support holistic and consistent safety culture.
