Hazard is the quarterly journal of the Victorian
Injury Surveillance Unit (VISU) (formerly
VISAR). Information about injuries and their prevention is disseminated
through this publication. The issues reviewed in Hazard are
chosen because of a combination of the severity, frequency and
preventability of the injury type.
If you would like more information about Hazard,
please contact Karen Ashby
on (03) 9905 1805
(fax: (03) 9905 1809).

in Adobe .pdf format. You can also browse the Hazard
index by issue. Other sources of information, such as MUARC
