RIDDOR Reporting
The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR) requires the reporting of work-related accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences. It applies to all work activities, but not necessarily to all incidents.
Accident reporting and the use of an accident book is a mandatory requirement. A reportable accident will include:
- Deaths
- Major injuries
- Accidents resulting in 3 days off work
- Diseases
- Dangerous occurrences
Employees must be informed of the procedures, the identity of the person responsible for investigating/reporting accidents and the location of the accident record book. The completed pages of the accident record book must be removed and filed separately.
RFS Consultancy can provide the arrangements and documentation for incident recording and where required reporting to comply with RIDDOR. We can also undertake accident investigation and act as advisor in compensation claims.
