The STATS19 completed by the police reports less accidents then the NHS system for people attending hospital after a crash and only RIDDOR would deal with time lost a few days after the accident. In my opinion the overall killed or Seriously Injured stats (KSI) are about correct. The KSI whilst at work are under reported and time lost due to a crash is very under reported. In other words, the true costs to business of staff having crashes whilst at work could be significantly greater than current statistics report.
