RIDDOR - Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations

Further details are available, on how reports made by employers and others under RIDDOR, are used for statistical purposes. Also provided is information on the effects on the change in the reporting system, from September 2011, to the statistics published for the latest year 2011/12p.

Under-reporting of RIDDOR non-fatal injuries

RIDDOR data needs to be interpreted with care because it is known that non-fatal injuries are substantially under-reported. Currently, it is estimated that just over half of all such injuries to employees are actually reported, with the self-employed reporting a much smaller proportion.

Additionally, any comparisons between different subsets within RIDDOR data (e.g. comparisons between one industrial sector and another) need to take account of the possibility of there being markedly different reporting levels in the subsets being compared.

Estimates of reporting levels are available by employment status and main industry.

No estimates are available on reporting levels of RIDDOR dangerous occurrences.

Unless otherwise stated, the time series in the following tables covers the latest five-year period that is available.
