Disease Reporting (RIDDOR)
Introduction The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR), place a legal duty on:
to report work-related deaths, major injuries or over-three-day injuries, work related diseases, and dangerous occurrences (near miss accidents). How to report The easiest way to report an incident is by calling the Incident Contact Centre on 0845 300 99 23 and speak to an ICC Operator who will complete a report form over the phone. Your report will be passed on to the relevant enforcing authority. You will be sent a copy of the information recorded which you can file - this meets the RIDDOR requirement to keep records of all reportable incidents. Accidents can also be reported by e-mail, online or by post. More information is available at: What must I report? As an employer, a person who is self-employed, or someone in control of work premises, you have legal duties under RIDDOR that require you to report and record some work-related accidents by the quickest means possible. You must report:
Reportable disease If a doctor notifies you that your employee suffers from a reportable work-related disease, then you must report it to the enforcing authority. Reportable diseases include:

If someone has had an accident in a work situation where you are in charge, and you are unsure whether to report it just call the Incident Contact Centre (ICC) on 0845 300 99 23. Why should I report?Reporting accidents and ill health at work is a legal requirement. The information enables the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and local authorities, to identify where and how risks arise, and to investigate serious accidents. We can then help you and provide advice on how to reduce injury, and ill health in your workplace. If you are self-employedIf you are working in someone else’s premises and suffer either a major injury or an over-three-day injury, then the person in control of the premises will be responsible for reporting, so, where possible, you should make sure they know about it (and record it in their accident book). All they have to do is call the Incident Contact Centre and answer a few questions about the incident. If there is a reportable accident while you are working on your own premises, or if a doctor tells you that you have a work-related disease or condition, then you need to report it. Reporting 'out of hours'The HSE and local authority enforcement officers are not an emergency service. You should contact your enforcing authority out of hours in the following circumstances:
More information on when, and how, to report very serious or dangerous incidents, can be found by visiting the HSE out of hours web page.
