Health and safety at work - reporting an accident

Service outline:

RIDDOR means the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995, which came into force on 1 April 1996.

As an employer, a person who is self-employed, or someone in control of work premises, you have legal duties under RIDDOR that require you to report and record some work-related accidents by the quickest means possible.

You must report:

deaths
major injuries
over-3-day injuries - where an employee or self-employed person is away from work or unable to perform their normal work duties for more than 3 consecutive days;
injuries to members of the public or people not at work where they are taken from the scene of an accident to hospital;
some work-related diseases;
dangerous occurrences - where something happens that does not result in an injury, but could have done;
Gas Safe registered gas fitters must also report dangerous gas fittings they find, and gas conveyors/suppliers must report some flammable gas incidents.
