What does RIDDOR covers?

RIDDOR, the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations, covers the legal requirements for employers and other responsible persons in the UK to report and record workplace incidents. This includes work-related deaths, serious injuries, diagnosed occupational diseases, and specific dangerous occurrences that could pose a risk to health and safety. The primary aim is to ensure that workplace hazards are identified and addressed to prevent future incidents. Compliance with RIDDOR helps improve overall workplace safety and health standards.
