Accidents at Work

Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (or RIDDOR 95) requires (by law) the reporting of work-related accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences.

You can report incidents at work to the Incident Contact Centre on 0845 300 9923. This will ensure that the incident is passed onto the correct authority for investigation and will ensure that your legal duty is met. You can also visit the Health and Safety Executive website  for more information.

All accidents occurring on the premises need to be entered in the accident book, which should be kept within your workplace.
