It will be interesting to see how this new body works. Lets hope a commonsense approach to H&S will indeed be their aim. Workplace driving fatalities and injuries must be included in the RIDDOR system to make companies take the risks associated with occupational road safety seriously.

I totally disagree RIDDOR reporting centres will be inundated with reports of Fatalities, Major injuries and over 3 day absences, which have to be reported within a 10 day timescale, if the resulting police investigation indicates that the other driver was at fault, there will need to be a retraction of the fatality against the company who reported it,thereby doubling the clerical impact on the reporting centre ! the same could be said if it was indeed the fault of the employed driver, who drove recklessly, an employer having no control over that act, RIDDOR is as comprehensive as it needs to be. The HSE are considering company vehicles falling within PUWER which would yield benifits.

The accountability of the HSE to the HSC will now be lost and we will no longer see the former reigned-in by the latter. This outweighs the perceived advantages in the amalgamation.
