Posted By jde If the RTA occurs as a result of the person going about his work / business, then the accident should be recorded and if meeting the RIDDOR criteria, reported accordingly.

Posted By Swis You should keep a log of accidents and injuries in your record book to pinpoint and common trends/training needs and for the purpose of any possible future claims. However, you must be cautious of reporting road accidents under RIDDOR as only a limited number of vehicle accidents on roads are reportable. Only reportable if; 1) exposure to any substancet being transported; (b) accidents arising from vehicle loading and unloading activities; (c) accidents arising in connection with road works etc

Posted By Bob Youel because it is an accident it requires recording. Where the accident happened e.g. on the highway,in a shop etc does not matter Read social security law to get your reasons behind my comments as that set of laws have a specific reporting parameter irrespective of RTA's etc and an accident book is a requirement of SS law not H&S law

Posted By Ron Hunter If you have a Transport Manager, I surmise you have a fleet of some sort? What Transport Manager wouldn't want to know the circumstances causing accidental damage to works vehicles, be in a position to collate facts and figures, and formulate (working with others like yourself) possible preventative strategies to save your Organisation a lot of money?
