This site provides information on RIDDOR which puts duties on employers, the self-employed and people in control of work premises (the Responsible Person) to report serious workplace accidents, occupational diseases and specified dangerous occurrences (near misses).
Incidents that happen in Northern Ireland should be reported to
HSE NI.
From 6 April 2012, subject to Parliamentary approval, RIDDOR’s over three day injury reporting requirement will change.
From then the trigger point will increase from over three days’ to over seven days’ incapacitation (not counting the day on which the accident happened).
