Accidents
Service Outline
RIDDOR means the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995, which came into force on 1 April 1996.
Reporting accidents and ill health at work is a legal requirement. The information enables the enforcing authorities to identify where and how risks arise and to investigate serious accidents. The enforcing authorities can then help and advise you on preventive action to reduce injury, ill health and accidental loss - much of which is uninsurable.
If you are an employer, self-employed or in control of work premises you will have duties under the Regulations to report:
- deaths
- major injuries
- accidents resulting in over 3 day injury
- diseases
- dangerous occurrences
- gas incidents
