Over the past thirty years, risk of road traffic accidents has decreased but remains high and accounts for 44% of fatal work-related accidents for commuting and mission-related accidents. The aims of this study were to estimate the overall incidence of commuting accidents for non-physician professionals in a major university hospital and by gender and different professional categories, and to assess its evolution over a 5-year period. A descriptive analysis was performed on 390 commuting accidents from 2012 to 2016 extracted from the university hospital's occupational health service.

Crude Relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals for the association of commuting accident with respectively sex, occupational categories and years were estimated on log-binomial regression using the using the GENMOD procedure in the SAS statistical package (version 9.4) with the DIST=BINOMIAL and LINK=LOG options.
