Consultation opens on RIDDOR change
23 January 2013
The HSE has opened a threemonth consultation on proposed changes to the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 1995.
The HSE has opened a threemonth consultation on proposed changes to the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 1995. Changes to RIDDOR were recommended in the Young report on health and safety which contained a proposal to increase the threshold for reporting workplace injuries from three to seven days.
The change would align the incident reporting threshold with that for obtaining a 'fit note' from a GP for sickness absence, and would ensure that someone who has suffered a reportable injury has had a professional medical assessment.
The consultation paper is available at www.hse.gov.uk/ consult/condocs/cd233.htm. The deadline for responses is 9 May 2011.
