The human, legal and economic consequences of the failure to manage occupational road risk make it an obligation not an option. More people are killed in ‘at work’ road accidents than in all other occupational accidents put together.

Whether quiet or busy - depots, warehouses, car parks and onsite traffic systems present a wide range of problems to companies both small and large. The statistics drive this fact home, with workplace transport being the second largest cause of accidents in the workplace. Safe management of a busy site can literally be a matter of life and death, with approximately 2,000 serious injuries and 70 fatalities occurring each year.

In 2002 the former Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) ceased to collect injury data for its Home Accident Surveillance System (HASS) and Leisure Accident Surveillance System (LASS). Since this time the database has been accessible through RoSPA’s website. However, it is now out of date especially in terms of emerging injury trends.

RoSPA in partnership with Electrical Safety Council and Intertek RAM have commissioned a study to assess the feasibility of setting up a new injury surveillance system in the UK. This would facilitate the prevention of accidental injury through providing data for research, policy development, injury prevention programmes, risk assessment, and product development.

We would welcome your views on what should potentially be included within a new injury surveillance system. Please tell us what information you would find most useful and how you might use it. Many thanks in advance for completing the short questionnaire below.
