What is RIDDOR?

RIDDOR means the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995,
which came into force on 1 April 1996. RIDDOR requires the reporting of work-related accidents,
diseases and dangerous occurrences. It applies to all work activities, but not to all incidents.

Why should you report?
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.

Keeping records
You must keep a record of any reportable injury, disease or dangerous occurrence. This must include the date and method of reporting; the date, time and place of the event, personal details of those involved and a brief description of the nature of the event or disease. You can keep the record in any form you wish.
