Did you know?
All accidents, which occur at work, should be recorded in an accident book. This information enables you to identify where and how risks arise.

Certain accidents are legally reportable. This can be done in a number of ways:

• On the Internet at www.riddor.gov.uk (this page opens in a new window)
• Via the HSE web site www.hse.gov.uk (this page opens in a new window)
• By telephone charged at local rate on 0845 300 9923
  
• By fax charged at local rate on 0845 300 9924
• By email riddor@natbrit.com
• By post Incident Contact Centre, Caerphilly Business Park, Caerphilly, CF83 3GG    

What do you need to report?

• A death or major injury such as a broken bone
• An over three day injury (that is when an employee or self employed person has an accident at work and is unable to work for three days) but does not have a major injury
• An accident to a non-employee such as a visitor or customer on your premises, which results in them being taken to hospital for treatment
• A work related disease
• A dangerous occurrence e.g. when something happens that does not result in a reportable injury, but which clearly could have done.

If you have a query about reporting an accident or have suffered an injury in a workplace please do not hesitate to contact Environmental Health and Licensing Services.
