RIDDOR - A change not in the consultation

The HSE have recently closed their Consultation on changes to RIDDOR and, almost immediately, have announced a change to RIDDOR (without consultation).

From September this year, work-related injuries and incidents that are reportable under RIDDOR will have to be notified to the HSE by its website. It is understood that over half of reportable injuries are already notified to the HSE through the website and that this proportion has been increasing steadily over the past seven years.

The reporting of fatal and major incidents will still be able to be done by phone, in recognition of the need for a more personal response in such circumstances.
