Every year 70 people are killed and a further 1000 are seriously injured through workplace transport accidents in the UK. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) of the United Kingdom have commissioned the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) to undertake a scoping study to identify causal factors in workplace transport accidents and to suggest possible areas where intervention might be effective. Based on the analysis of 246 accident report forms and a review of existing research literature a number of causal factors have been identified. Recommendations for intervention are made in the following areas: 'behavioural' 'workplace' and 'ergonomic'.
