BFU, the Beratungsstelle für Unfallverhütung, is a Swiss competence centre for accident prevention. It combines accident research, advice, education and communication to prevent accidents in road traffic, at home and in the garden, in buildings and facilities, and in sport and movement.

Its output includes publications such as the magazine «sicher leben», an AI assistant called Sinus plus that answers questions on accident statistics with analyses and charts, and the card game Trotti Go!, which teaches children rules for safe scooter riding. Its legal information pages cover topics such as product liability under the Swiss Product Liability Act. Target audiences include multipliers such as driving instructors and caretakers, companies seeking to reduce accidents among their employees, and planners of road infrastructure.

The organisation has its workplaces in the centre of Bern and states that more than 130 people from different professions work there. Together with the police, it has run the Tag des Lichts (Day of Light) campaign on 5 November for 20 years to promote visibility in road traffic. Its careers page reported no open positions at the time of review.
