Reporting an accident and ill health (RIDDOR)

Certain work-related injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences have to be reported.

What do I need to report  

  • death or major injuries to an employee or self-employed person working on your premises. 
  • death or hospitalisation of a member of the public· 
  • disease suffered by an employee that is related to work activities· 
  • dangerous occurrence that does not result in a reportable injury but which clearly could have done· 
  • an injury lasting for seven days (not counting the day on which it happened) to an employee or self-employed person working on your premises. The report must be made within 15 days of the accident.
