As an employer, or self employed person, you have certain legal duties under the Reporting of Injuries, Disease and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) to report certain accidents, incidents and near misses.
All reportable incidents can be reported online via the Health and Safety Executive website (HSE). Once completed, the form is submitted directly to the RIDDOR database and you will get a copy for your own records.
Visit the HSE website to report an incident

Visit the HSE website for information about reporting accidents and incidents
Please note: an authorised officer may investigate a reportable accident/incident to identify any breaches of health and safety legislation.
