How to make a RIDDOR report

Once you know an accident or incident is RIDDOR reportable, you need to report it. Because RIDDOR is a legal requirement , it's important that you make your report as soon as possible. There are different ways in which you must report an accident under RIDDOR, depending on the type of injury. There are certain deadlines by which reports need to be made, depending on what you are reporting.

When reporting an accident under RIDDOR, it is important to make sure that the incident or resulting injury is reportable, and that the report is made within the required timeframe.

Some injuries are required to be notified immediately, some have a longer timeframe for reporting and can be up 15 days, or even longer in the case of diseases that may not be immediately apparent.

The timeframes for reportable injuries and incidents are:

• Deaths (report immediately)
• Major injuries (report immediately)
• Injuries lasting more than 7 days - Incidents resulting in a person being off work (or unable to perform their normal work duties) for more than 7 consecutive days (report within 15 days)
• Injuries to members of the public where they are taken from the scene of the accident to hospital (report immediately)
• Dangerous occurrences ( report immediately)
• Diseases (report as soon as possible)

All incidents can be reported online through the HSE website. They also have a telephone service available for reporting fatal, specified, and major incidents only. This can't be used for other types of RIDDOR reports.

It is the ‘responsible person’ who must report under RIDDOR. This includes employers, the self-employed and people in control of work premises. The responsible person should submit reports under RIDDOR.

   1. in relation to an injury, death or dangerous occurrence [...] involving—

      2. a person not at work or a self-employed person, or in relation to any other dangerous occurrence, the person who by means of their carrying on any undertaking was in control of the premises where the reportable or recordable incident happened, at the time it happened

How to get a copy of a RIDDOR report

You must keep your own records under RIDDOR, along with reporting to the HSE. You can keep a copy of the online RIDDOR form. To get your copy from the HSE, you need to click 'Download to PDF' once you have submitted the form online. They no longer email you a copy of the form.

If you do not keep a copy of the online form, your records must include the date and method of reporting; the date, time and place of the event; personal details of those involved; and a brief description of the nature of the event or disease.
