WHAT IS RIDDOR?

RIDDOR stands for the Reporting of Injuries Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations.

RIDDOR regulations detail which and how employers must report workplace accidents.

Not complying with RIDDOR regulations is a breach of the law.

Having serious workplace injuries reported provides the insight needed to help the UK government to focus on where improvements in workplace safety can be made.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON INJURIES?

In 2019/2020 the most common non-fatal injuries reported under RIDDOR in the UK were

  1. trips or falls on the same level,
  2. handling lifting or carrying,
  3. struck by a moving object,
  4. acts of violence and;
  5. falls from heights

If you have staff undertaking any of these activities in your workplace you may wish to consider providing them with online safety awareness training.
