DfT - Company Vehicle Incident Reporting and Recording

[brothermagrew]

An interesting Department for Transport document:

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous
Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 1995 cover many sectors of industry (for examples see Corzine
1999, Peel 1999, Prezlik 1999, Taylor 1999). Some sectors, including rail, are governed by further
regulations, reporting directly to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). On-road accidents are generally
not reportable under RIDDOR regulations, but may have to be reported to the Police, who may record
details on a Stats19 form, under the 1988 Road Traffic Act. This means that accidents, in terms of road
transport and company vehicles, fall into two categories: at work and on-road.
