DESCRIPTION: All deaths to workers and non-workers, with the exception of suicides, are RIDDOR reportable if they arise from a work-related accident, including an act of physical violence to a worker.
DESCRIPTION: There are a list of reportable ‘specified injuries’ as set out in RIDDOR 2013. This includes fractures (other than to fingers, thumbs and toes), amputations, any injury likely to lead to permanent loss of sight or reduction in sight, crush injuries to the head or torso causing damage to the brain or internal organs, serious burns (including scalding) covering more than 10% of the body, any scalping requiring hospital treatment, any loss of consciousness caused by head injury or asphyxia.
DESCRIPTION: Accidents must be reported where they result in an employee or self-employed person being away from work, or unable to perform their normal work duties, for more than seven consecutive days as the result of their injury. This seven day period does not include the day of the accident, but does include weekends and rest days. The report must be made within 15 days of the accident.
DESCRIPTION: Accidents must be recorded, but not reported where they result in a worker being incapacitated for more than three consecutive days.
DESCRIPTION: Minor injuries are not RIDDOR reportable and include any non specified injury such as fractures to fingers and toes, bumps, bruises, cuts, abrasions, sprains etc.

the collapse, overturning or failure of load-bearing parts of lifts and lifting equipment; plant or equipment coming into contact with overhead power lines; the accidental release of any substance which could cause injury to any person.
DESCRIPTION: A near miss is not RIDDOR repotable as it is an event not causing harm, but has the potential to cause injury or ill health. This could include the following: a trip/stumble, falling objects, agression/conflict situation, encountering a potentially dangerous situation.
