Hello
Can anyone direct me where I can get guidance or offer me advice in how to go about analysing road traffic accidents in the same way as you analyse injuries etc. Eddie

Have tried speaking to your local Traffic Police Accident Investigation Team? I have been to a couple of seminairs put on by them. Ask them if they would do a presentation at your local branch meeting. They are very knowledgable and would probably love to tell you what they do and what to look for etc.

A simple spreadsheet may be used to break out incidents classified by e.g. driver, age, vehicle, time, hours driven, cost, location, purpose of journey, driver experience, type of incident and whatever other criteria you need. If you're looking to understand your own fleet experience then it is vital that your data collection is planned so that you get the information in a format that allows you to subsequently do the analysis. It is also very important to gather only what you need or else the data input becomes a pain and then the quality of data will be suspect.

The DfT has just released a lot of data looking at the whys and wherefores of road accident/injuries for 2015 - there are numerous spreadsheets of data you can analyse - see https://www.gov.uk/gover...statistical-tables-index for a link to all the various spreadsheets of data - might be something amongst them of use to you.
I did create an infographic to summarise the main findings rather than trying to explain it all via tables and a dissertation. I can send you a link to it on my blog if you want to use it, just let me know and I'll PM you.

Unfortunately, even though the police form records data about whether the drver and any injured paries were 'at work', none of the data analysis covers this (at least when I've looked previously). A couple of years ago, some of us in Scotland submitted a proposal to IOSH Development Fund to pilot such an analysis of the data for Scotland, but the idea was declined.
So actually, all the good work on how MORR (managment of occupational road risks) is based on experience, not evidential data - which would make it so much stronger.
