RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013) sets when an employer or responsible person must report an incident.
Reportable events include specified injuries, over-seven-day incapacitation, work-related fatalities, certain occupational diseases, and listed dangerous occurrences.
Reports go to the HSE (or the relevant enforcing authority) via the online forms. Keep your own record of what happened and what you did next.

How EHSync Safety helps
EHSync Safety has incident forms with the fields a RIDDOR report needs, and the actions that follow, on the site record. It does not file the report with the HSE for you. It goes live in March 2027.
