The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) mandates reporting specific workplace incidents. Employers are required to report the following:
Any work-related death, regardless of the time between the incident and the death, must be reported immediately.
Serious workplace injuries, including fractures, amputations, and injuries leading to blindness, must be reported.
If an employee or self-employed person cannot work for more than seven consecutive days due to a workplace injury, the incident must be reported.
Certain work-related illnesses and diseases, such as asbestosis and occupational dermatitis, must be reported.
Specific dangerous occurrences, such as the collapse of lifting equipment, the accidental release of a dangerous substance, or a fire or explosion, must be reported.
Employers must be aware of their legal obligation to report such incidents promptly. Failure to comply with RIDDOR reporting requirements may result in legal consequences.
