National Transport Safety Center held a workshop titled “Investigating Road Accidents and Incidents: From Notification to Response”, with the participation of a number of relevant government entities. The workshop aimed to establish a unified practical understanding of the stages of response to road transport accidents, starting with receiving notifications and activating the response, through managing the accident scene and preserving evidence, and ultimately to initial analysis, incident documentation, and report preparation in accordance with best practices. The workshop brought together representatives from several relevant entities, including the Ministry of Health, Transport General Authority, General Authority for Roads, Saudi Red Crescent Authority, and Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO). During the workshop, National Transport Safety Center presented key aspects of accident scene management and evidence preservation, types of evidence in road transport accidents, notification procedures and response activation, as well as the technical investigation process and the role of the Engineering Transport Safety Laboratory in supporting investigations. The workshop forms part of a series of workshops organized by National Transport Safety Center to facilitate the exchange of safety investigation expertise and strengthen collaborative partnerships among relevant entities. These efforts contribute to enhancing a comprehensive understanding of accident response mechanisms—from notification through response—and supporting efforts to reduce the occurrence of serious transport accidents.
