Watch out for important changes to RIDDOR…
The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 are about to change!
From 6th April 2012 (subject to Parliamentary approval) you will no longer report ‘over three day injuries’, instead you will report ‘over seven day incapacitation’ (not including the day the accident happened). You will still need to keep a record of over three day injuries, but no longer report them to RIDDOR.
New guidance explaining the changes should be available soon on the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) website.
