Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and RIDDOR 2013, employers have a legal duty to record workplace accidents, injuries, and dangerous occurrences. Failure to keep accurate records can result in enforcement action from the HSE and significant fines.
A structured accident report form helps you capture all the details you need, when you need them.
RIDDOR 2013 requires employers to report deaths, specified injuries, over-7-day incapacitation, occupational diseases, and dangerous occurrences to the HSE within strict time limits.
The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) require employers to report and keep records of certain work-related accidents, occupational diseases, and specified dangerous occurrences.
These requirements apply to all employers, the self-employed, and people in control of work premises.

You must report deaths, specified injuries (fractures, amputations, loss of consciousness, etc.), over-7-day incapacitation, occupational diseases, and dangerous occurrences. Fatal and specified injuries must be reported without delay. Over-7-day injuries must be reported within 15 days.
