RIDDOR - do you know how to report to the HSE?

HSE has updated their guidance in terms of the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR).

While there are no changes to the legal requirements, there are some that have been applied to the guidance, which includes:

• more direct links to guidance on types of reportable incidents to help you decide whether a report is required

• improved guidance on who should and should not report under RIDDOR

• improved guidance on what is meant by a ‘work-related’ accident

• information on when an occupational disease is not reportable

• increased clarity on when an ‘over-7-day’ absence should be reported

There are some form changes as well which have improved the process. To read all about RIDDOR, click on the link - RIDDOR - Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 - HSE
