Lancaster has one of the highest rates of accidental deaths in the UK.
Recent studies have indicated that the accidental death rate for men in Lancaster is 37 per 100,000 compared with 22 in England and Wales.
The number of lives lost due to accidents in Lancaster was almost double the national figure for the period 2002 - 2004.
Now Lancaster Accident Prevention Partnership has launched an anonymous survey aimed at finding out where accidents are happening, to whom and why and it can be found at www.lancaster.gov.uk/accidentprevention.
