Under the Reportable Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR), all employers have a legal duty to report certain types
of accidents to the HSE. A typical example would be if an employee has been off work due to a work related injury or disease.
Therefore all injuries should be recorded in an accident book. In addition, the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR) require some events to be reported to the enforcing authority. A summary of the Regulations is shown below.
