What does RIDDOR have to do with hairdressing?

RIDDOR, the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations, requires hairdressers to report specific workplace incidents, such as serious injuries or cases of occupational disease. This ensures that hazards are identified and addressed, promoting a safer working environment. Hairdressers must maintain records of such incidents and report them to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to comply with legal obligations and improve safety standards in the salon.
