The HaddonMatrix

The Haddon Matrix is a tool used to analyze and prevent injuries by examining factors across three stages: before, during, and after an incident. It considers three categories: the environment, the person involved, and the equipment or vehicle. By looking at how each factor interacts at each stage, it helps identify specific ways to reduce risks—such as improving safety features, educating individuals, or changing surroundings. Overall, it provides a structured way to develop strategies that can prevent injuries or lessen their severity effectively.
