TfL Ref: 2664-1920

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 2 December 2019 asking for details of any reported accidents made by xxxx Ltd to the London Underground Limited, between the years 1991 and 2016.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require. Although you have asked for data back to 1991, we only hold data going back as far as 2006.   Please find attached a list of all the incidents that we have been able to locate where xxxx is given as the Contractor/Subcontractor.  To be clear, the term ‘accidents’ is very broad and generic in nature. If you are in search of just ‘injuries’ then this data can be filtered using Column B.

           

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely

Sara Thomas
