Death and serious injuries (DSI) is a measure to determine a project’s impact on user safety and social cost.
To ensure consistency and assist Approved Organisations to develop forecasts, a suite of tools that provide approaches suitable for different types of investments have been developed.
A full description of the forecast methodology and how to use it is found here:
