RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases & Dangerous Occurrences Regulations)

These regulations place a legal duty on:

• Employers
• Self-employed people
• People in control of premises.

An employer must report work-related deaths, major injuries or over-three day injuries, work related diseases, and dangerous occurrences (near miss accidents).  The information enables the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) and local authorities to identify where and how risks arise, and to investigate serious accidents.  For most businesses, a reportable accident, dangerous occurrence, or case of disease is a comparatively rare event.  However, if it does happen, you must let them know.  E.T.R. can assist with this procedure plus all the paperwork that goes with it.

We offer a comprehensive accident investigation service to determine the underlying and root causes of an accident / incident.  Recording and analysing all incidents, including near misses, will help you to become proactive in the prevention of accidents.  A reactive system can be very costly and sometimes catastrophic.
