Accidents at work

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.

RIDDOR '95 requires the reporting of work-related accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences. It applies to all work activities, but not to all incidents.

The Health and Safety Executive's Incident Contact Centre website provides information about RIDDOR and allows you to report accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences.
