Road Traffic Accidents in Guyana,2018

Every road traffic accident known to the police is the subject of a BAAC sheet

(Bulletin of Analysis of Corporal Accidents) by the police or gendarmerie service territorially

competent.The national register of road traffic accidents, known as the “BAAC file”, brings together all the

BAAC informed by law enforcement.
This BAAC file thus constitutes a database

essential to know the state and evolution of road insecurity and especially to understand the

mechanisms and factors explaining the accident.

Its statistical operations guide national and local road safety policies.

The National Interministerial Observatory for Road Safety (ONISR) is responsible for administration and

dissemination of statistics.
