Health and safety in the workplace

Accident reporting

The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) places a duty on employers, the self-employed, and those in control of workplaces to report a range of events, including certain types of accidents and dangerous occurrences.

If we accept an accident report, a policy decision will be made on whether or not to investigate. This is guided by the HSE incident selection criteria guidance.
