RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations)

RIDDOR, which stands for Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations, is a UK law requiring employers and others to report serious workplace incidents. This includes work-related injuries that result in hospitalization, dangerous accidents, or cases where workers develop certain illnesses due to their job. The goal is to identify hazards, prevent future incidents, and ensure workplace safety. Reports are submitted to the relevant authorities so they can investigate and take appropriate action. RIDDOR helps maintain a safer working environment by tracking and analyzing work-related risks and incidents.
