The World Health Organization has released a Road Safety Manual for decision-makers and practitioners concerning Occupant Restraints. The purpose of the second edition of this manual is to provide evidence, advice and examples that will lead to increased use of occupant restraints as safety devices at the national level. Rooted in new case studies and evidence, including from low- and middle-income countries, it includes recommendations for developing and implementing technical standards and legislation, advice on monitoring and evaluating progress, and suggestions regarding other multidisciplinary measures.
