RIDDOR stands for Reportable Injuries Diseases and Dangerous Occurrence Regulations (1995)
These regulations place full responsibility on employers to report certain events or injuries to the Health and Safety Executive. The confusing thing is knowing what to report and when.
Notifying the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
If there is an accident connected with you workplace and an employee, self-employed person, or a member of the public are injured, then you may need to contact the HSE to advise them of the situation.
However when you do you are then likely to come under investigation with Inspectors demanding to see your Health and Safety Management System .
They will also want to see that it has been implemented and then will certainly want to talk to your workforce and inspect your workplace.
Are you confident that your staff are working in line with and understand what your Health and Safety Risk Assessment advises.
RIDDOR Reporting :
If you fail to report a major injury, a three day injury, a reportable disease or dangerous occurrence to the HSE within 10 days it can lead to prosecution.
