Guide to Reporting Injuries Diseases and Dangerous Occurrence Regulations (1995)
What is RIDDOR?
The RIDDOR regulations place responsibilities on employers to report certain accidents, dangerous occurrences and cases of occupational disease to the Health & Safety Executive. The confusing thing is knowing what to report and in what timescales.
RIDDOR – Notifying the Health & Safety Executive (HSE)
If there is an accident, dangerous occurrence, or case of occupational disease arising out of, or connected with, work and an employee, self-employed person, or even a member of the public are injured or become ill, then you may need to contact the HSE to advise them of the situation. As a result of this, you may then come under investigation with inspectors demanding to see your Health & Safety Systems Risk assessments and safe working procedures.
Would you be confident that you have a robust documented Health & Safety Management System in place?
RIDDOR Reporting
Failure to report a major injury, three-day injury, reportable disease or dangerous occurrence to the HSE can lead to prosecution. Therefore, having a suitable Health & Safety Management System in place to manage and minimise risks is essential.
