Similarly, relevant for the transport of dangerous goods in particular, one could make a distinction between the accident or injury risk for road users and the risk for third parties, for example for those living in the area and being exposed to toxic chemicals following a road accident with a dangerous goods truck. In the Netherlands this distinction is made in the external
safety report which is required for the dangerous goods transport industry. As an indicative value, the third party risk in this type of industry should not exceed 10-4 for events resulting in 10 victims and 10-6 for events resulting in 100 victims per year per kilometer route (RIVM, 1998).
