Clarification on HSE Workplace Injury and Fatality Stats
Rank: Forum user
|
Could someone please confirm for me if injuries and fatalities related to driving either a company or personal vehicle for work purposes (during paid time) are included in HSE stats reports?
Second related question: Are employers of those injured or killed while driving for work purposes required to a). report those incidents to the regulator, and b). investigate them? Thank you very much for you assistance! Argyll, ATP

1. I don't see how HSE could include this in their stats as they don't collect the data. 2(a). Regulation 14 of RIDDOR specifically excludes most road injuries and deaths from scope. HSE is not the regulator for road safety; instead it's a police matter.
2(b). There is no legal requirement for an employer to investigate any work-related injury or death. Investigation falls in the realm of good practice.
