Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 This leaflet aims to help employers and others with reporting duties under RIDDOR, to comply with RIDDOR and to understand reporting requirements. The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) https://watmos.simplyhas.com/e-learning/pdfs/indg453.pdf Q. A member of the public tripped over a trailing cable and hurt herself badly. We didn’t call an ambulance as her friend drove her to a hospital. Is this reportable? A. Yes. You must report cases where a person not at work is injured due to a work-related accident and is taken from your premises to a hospital, by whatever means, for treatment. Q. A person fainted and as a precaution they were taken to hospital. Is this reportable? A. No. You are only required to report injuries resulting from a work-related accident. This is not usually the case where people have been taken ill. Also, precautionary hospital attendance is different from attending hospital for treatment to an injury. Q. A member of the public fell over in our premises, as a precaution they went to hospital, but when examined the hospital said they had no injuries. Is this reportable? A. No. RIDDOR only requires you to report when people have been injured because of a work- related accident. If the hospital cannot find any injury there is no need to make a report. Generally, however, unless they are informed voluntarily, businesses have no means of finding out what treatment a member of the public has received. You should make the judgement as to whether a work-related accident has caused an injury requiring treatment on the basis of the information available.
