| Social
Security (Claims & Payments) Regulations 1979 gives details of the
legal requirement to ensure that all accidents, injuries and illness in the work
place is recorded in the ACCIDENT BOOK however trivial
they might seem. This book should be accessible by all staff at all times.
The Reporting of Injuries, Dangerous Diseases and Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR) gives details of the type of accident, injuries and occupational illnesses and other illnesses at work which must be reported to the Health and Safety. The regulation also gives details of how reports should be forwarded to the Health and Safety. It is therefore good practice that an INCIDENT BOOK is also at hand for recording incidents that could of resulted in injuries however trivial they might seem. |
