Accident Reporting

You are here Home First Aid Supplies Accident Reporting

By law, every business is expected to keep a record of any accidents which occur on their premises, in relation to both employees and visitors. The accident book has become part of these legal obligations, with its contents treated as a record for RIDDOR.

The report lets the enforcing organisations (HSE, local authorities and other regulatory bodies) know about any injuries, deaths, occupational diseases and dangerous instances which have taken place, so they can assess where and how these risks have arisen and whether these situations should indeed be investigated.

Find a range of accident books for business and educational establishments, as well as useful folders and stations, which can all be found in our comprehensive accident reporting section.

Every business in the UK is required to record accidents involving employees, contractors and visitors in the workplace. Accident books allow all the required information to be recorded in one place ensuring all essential information is captured at the time of the incident. Accident books also allow compliance with RIDDOR which requires the recording and reporting of serious injuries and deaths in the workplace.

All our accident books provide record cards that can be detached from the book in order for them to be stored in a secure location in accordance to the Data Protection Act.

In addition to the accident books firstaid.co.uk also supply accessories for storing the accident book in a fixed and visible location as well as a dedicated accident folder for storing completed record cards.
