Description

In the UK, the Police are responsible for the collection and recording of Road Traffic Collisions.

The accuracy of Road Traffic Collision data is fundamental to personal injury collision injury reduction, and is the primary data used to allocate resources to prevent and mitigate the numbers of people killed or seriously (KSIs) injured on our road network. This accredited course provides delegates with the fundamental principles associated with the "importance" of collision data accuracy.

Format

This course can be delivered via the following formats:

• In-house at your offices or training lecture theatres (we can teach up to 400 delegates in one sitting)
• Online via our e-learning platform
• At an agreed location

Course Overview

This course covers all the fundamentals associated with Collision/ Accident data collection methods and how to describe the collision as accurately as possible including:

• How to capture the data as accurately as possible
• Capturing highway conditions and "collision sketching" where possible
• Importance of "vehicular direction of travel"
• How to describe the collision using "factual interpretations"
• Key accident collision "codes" to optimise accuracy
• Accurately recording collision location including key landmarks"
• How the data is used by Local Highway Authorities and how engineers use the data to progress road safety engineering schemes
• Overview of Road Safety Engineering
• Working with Local Highway Authorities through "Road Safety Audits" - Police Officers are an excellent addition to compliment engineering expertise - how to collaborate to reduce Road Traffic Collisions/ Accidents
