Accident Reporting
Accident reporting is a legal requirement under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) - and done well, it is one of the most effective tools an organisation has for preventing the same incident from happening again. This course explains what must be reported, who is responsible for reporting it and how to fulfil those duties correctly. Completed entirely online, it supports compliance with RIDDOR and helps organisations build a culture where incidents are recorded, reviewed and learned from.
