Development of national indicators for monitoring work-related traffic accidents. An exploratory study based on data recorded by law enforcement agencies, a comparison with indicators derived from social security data, and the selection of a list of relevant indicators to be produced on a regular basis in this area
Initial indicators for the epidemiological surveillance of work-related traffic accidents were previously developed by Santé publique France (formerly the Institut de veille sanitaire—InVS) using data on workers’ compensation claims recorded by social security systems. This work was the subject of a report published in April 2014. There is a second data source that can be used to document this category of accidents at the national level: data collected by law enforcement officers when they respond to the scene of a traffic accident. This report supplements the findings of the April 2014 report. It is the result of a collaboration between the InVS and the Joint Research Unit for Epidemiology and Surveillance of Transport, Work, and the Environment (Umrestte). The work carried out made it possible to develop complementary indicators derived from law enforcement data and to select a list of relevant indicators from the two national data sources, intended to be produced regularly in the future to monitor this occupational risk. The selected indicators include traditional surveillance indicators such as the number of victims and fatalities and the proportion of work-related traffic accidents among all workplace accidents and traffic accidents, as well as indicators considered important for identifying work-related risk situations (distribution of victims and fatalities by industry sector, socioeconomic category, and vehicle type). It is planned to produce these indicators regularly using recent data, which will allow for the monitoring of trends over time—information that is useful for targeting and evaluating prevention efforts.
