Earlier this year, the Health and Safety Executive – in partnership with local authorities – launched a new incident-reporting service which covers all employers and businesses in the UK. Currently around 210,000 health and safety incidents are reported every year.
The service operates from a new contact centre and:
Provides employers with an integrated "one-stop shop" for them to contact with details of all reportable work-related accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences. This creates a more efficient incident reporting system across the UK.
Reduces paperwork and gives employers a choice of method for reporting incidents – either by Internet, e-mail, phone, fax, or post.
Information is published on a Web site of reported incidents, broken down by type of incident, geographical region and sector. This information is updated in real time.
Employers are required by law to report all work-related health and safety incidents specified in the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR). See www.riddor.gov.uk
