The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) have announced new reporting procedures which mean that the majority of incidents which fall under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR) must now be reported to them via their website using one of seven on-line forms available.
Only fatal and major injuries/incidents should now be reported to the HSE by phone. The seven online RIDDOR reporting forms will be:
- F2508 Report of an injury
- F2508 Report of a Dangerous Occurrence
- F2508a Report of a Case of Disease
- OIR9B Report of an Injury Offshore
- OIR9B Report of a Dangerous Occurrence
- Offshore F2508G1 Report of a Flammable Gas Incident
- F2508G2 Report of a Dangerous Gas Fitting
HSE’s Infoline telephone service, which provided a basic information service, closed in September 2011 and now all information and official guidance is available on HSE’s website www.hse.gov.uk
