[Prevention of injuries: technological principles]

The principles of modern technology in injuries prevention have been elaborated which are based on fundamentally new approaches to the interpretation of injuries and classification of prevention activities proposed by the author. It is emphasized that each type of prevention (urgent, operative, planned) corresponds to a certain technological succession of operations: selection and pickup of information, the time period and mechanism of analysis communication, etc., and also to specific goals. A model of injuries prevention system is proposed which is based on organizational structures of local councils of people's deputies and may be used for any administrative territory of the country with due regard for peculiarities and specific factors determining the level and nature of injuries.
