What is RIDDOR?
RIDDOR stands for the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations, 1995.
If you are an employer, self-employed or in control of work premises, you must by law report some work related accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences. The information helps local authorities and the Health and safety executive (HSE) to identify where and how risks arise and to investigate serious accidents.
How to Report
You can report incidents by telephone, fax, on line or by post or directly to your local authority or to your local HSE office (initially by phone and then on form 2508 or 2508A) and the reports will be forwarded to the Incident Contact Centre (ICC) for processing. You can follow the links from this page to the RIDDOR reporting website and the HSE.
If you report an incident online or by telephone you need to keep your own copy of the official reporting forms for inspection by visiting officers. To help you, you will be sent a copy of your report and given the chance to correct any errors in it.
