Reporting incidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences

01 September 2024

​​​​​​Use this online form to report work-related incidents, diseases or dangerous occurrences.

 It is available at:  Reporting workplace incidents and accidents (RIDDOR)

Anyone can use this form, including:

• e​mployers​
  
• employees
  
• members of the public

Employers are not required by law to inform us, but many choose to.  

The form will standardise reporting, allowing us to better analyse the data from work-related incidents. This will provide an additional information source that we can use alongside the statistical data on work-related accidents and ill-health collated through Social Security Short-Term Incapacity Allowance (STIA).    

We use the data to monitoring trends, identifying where it might be helpful for the regulator to provide new guidance, Approved Codes of Practice (ACoP) or propose changes to legislation in its aim to reduce the incidence of work-related accidents and ill-health. ​
