The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents

Home Safety
Advice, Information & Resources
Every year in the UK more than 6,000 people die in accidents in the home and 2.7 million turn up
at accident and emergency departments seeking treatment. But, because the accidents happen
behind closed doors in isolated incidents they rarely attract public and media attention. RoSPA is
one of the few national voices speaking out on this issue. Accident prevention is easy, relatively
inexpensive to deliver and can make a high impact especially for those most vulnerable. RoSPA
campaigns for change and provide a large range of resources to inform, educate and help to
prevent accidents in the home and its surrounding area.
