The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) is a UK legislation that requires employers, and other people in control of work premises, to report certain workplace incidents to the relevant enforcing authority. These incidents include work-related deaths, serious injuries, occupational diseases, and dangerous occurrences.
The regulation ensures that significant workplace incidents are documented and investigated to improve safety standards and prevent future risks. The data collected under RIDDOR helps the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and local authorities monitor workplace hazards and enforce safety laws.
