From 1 October 2013 the revised Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR 2013) come into force. 

RIDDOR 2013 Changes 
From 1 October 2013, RIDDOR 2013 comes into force, which introduces significant changes to the existing reporting requirements. The main changes are to simplify the reporting requirements in the following areas: 
  • The classification of ‘major injuries’ to workers is being replaced with a shorter list of ‘specified injuries’; 
  • The previous list of 47 types of industrial disease is being replaced with eight categories of reportable work-related illness; 
  • Fewer types of dangerous occurrence require reporting. 
There are no significant changes to the reporting requirements for: 
  • fatal accidents; 
  • accidents to non-workers (members of the public); 
  • Accidents which result in the incapacitation of a worker for more than seven days. 
Recording requirements remain broadly unchanged, including the requirement to record accidents resulting in the incapacitation of a worker for more than three days. 
RIDDOR is the law that requires employers, and other people in charge of work premises, to report and keep records of: 
  • work-related accidents which cause deaths 
  • work-related accidents which cause certain serious injuries (reportable injuries) 
  • diagnosed cases of certain industrial diseases; and 
  • certain ‘dangerous occurrences’ (incidents with the potential to cause harm) 
RIDDOR puts duties on employers, the self-employed and people in control of work premises (the Responsible Person) to report certain serious workplace accidents, occupational diseases and specified dangerous occurrences (near misses).
