Traffic safety

Safe mobility concerns almost everyone: as soon as we leave the house, we automatically participate in traffic. Accidents on the road endanger human lives like no other source in the world of work. In recent years, more than 9,000 workers have been injured each year in traffic accidents while travelling to and from work. The injuries are often severe. More than one third of all fatal occupational accidents in 2019 were traffic accidents.

The new generations of smartphones and tablets are increasingly being used for a wide variety of purposes. The Austrian Worker´s Compensation Board (AUVA) wants this trend to continue and has begun developing a number of different apps following extensive preparatory work.

Mobility is a requirement to participate in social life. With the help of mobility people can meet their individual needs and participate actively in their environment. But still mobility holds risks and dangers. Every day, people are involved in traffic accidents. We have to record fatalities and serious injuries every day.
