    Accidents At Work

    The Health and Safety team receives several hundred reports throughout the year of notifiable incidents relating to accidents, dangerous occurrences or occupational disease resulting from working activities.


    These reports come from companies who under the Reporting of Injuries, Disease and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR) have to report certain incidents to us, or from concerned members of the public, employees, emergency services and other organisations.

    Each year we investigate a proportion of notified accidents in accordance with our selection criteria. Investigation may involve calling the company concerned for further details through to visiting the site, taking evidence and statements from witnesses.

    Our aim is to:

    • Establish the cause;
    • Minimise the risk of a recurrence;
    • Evaluate the adequacy of health and safety arrangements;
    • Provide health and safety assistance;
    • Take enforcement action where appropriate.


    Report An Accident Or Dangerous Occurrence

    Reporting a notifiable accident under RIDDOR is not an admission of guilt or blame, it is a legal requirement. If you are unsure if the accident is notifiable, please contact us to discuss this further.
