If an incident occurs you should start to gather initial evidence for reporting and subsequent investigations - for example, witness statements.
If the outcome is potentially RIDDOR reportable
The purpose of the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) is to inform the relevant enforcing authority that a work-related accident or incident has happened.
You should notify the management and Health and Safety Team as soon as possible.
After you notified the team, either:
enter the accident details in the E-safety Portal
complete and submit accident incident form
Accident incident form (SharePoint)
After you've submitted the accident details
You should
record incident in the official accident book
undertake Level 2 or 3 accident investigation to identify causes and remedial actions to prevent a recurrence
If the employee is from another organisation
For example, a contractor working on our behalf, you need to make sure their employer is informed. If RIDDOR Reportable their employer is responsible for submitting this to HSE. Follow reporting procedures as for employee of the council.
