The Road Safety Hour: Work related road traffic accidents
27 May 2025 Webinar
This session will reflect on the In-Depth Road Traffic Fatalities Report for the Years 2015-2020, co-authored by Police Scotland and Transport Scotland.
The main contributory factors which influenced fatal collisions were people being careless, reckless or in a hurry, failing to look properly and losing control of their vehicle. Nonetheless, analysis identified that a combination of Road, Vehicle and People countermeasures (CMs) were required in order to mitigate the risk of the collision taking place, or reduce the severity of the collision.
Join ScORSA as they look at how businesses can mitigate these risks, and in the event of a fatal collision what investigation protocol is followed by the organisation, the Police and HSE.
