The Home Accident Surveillance Systems (HASS) dataset holds details of home and leisure accidents which caused a serious enough injury to warrant a visit to hospital. A representative mix of eighteen hospitals are involved in the collection of statistics. Each record includes information on:- the person who had the accident, the accident itself, the circumstances, the injuries and the involvement of products/articles in the accident. The purpose of the database is the collection of information to underpin accident prevention policy. The database focuses on consumer products that are involved in accidents and provides information on a wide range of behavioural factors.
