Abstract
 | The Home Accident Surveillance System (HASS) and the Leisure Accident Surveillance System (LASS) were systems for the collection of information from people who had accidents in the home, or at leisure. The aim of these systems was to underpin accident prevention policy, and thus to improve consumer safety. HASS and LASS were funded and maintained by the DTI since their inception in 1976. Computerised in 1992 and made into two linked databases, the HASS and LASS systems contain records of non-fatal accidents occurring in the home or at leisure, which caused a serious enough injury to warrant a visit to hospital, since the start of 1978. |
