The RIDDOR Regulations Course is a practical workplace health and safety training programme designed to help learners understand incident reporting requirements, workplace risk management, and employer responsibilities under health and safety legislation. RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations) is a UK regulation that establishes requirements for reporting specific workplace incidents, injuries, diseases, and dangerous occurrences to the relevant authorities.

FAQ
RIDDOR stands for Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations. It is a UK legal framework that requires certain workplace incidents and occupational illnesses to be formally reported.
An example would be a serious workplace injury, a specified occupational disease, or a dangerous occurrence such as equipment failure that could have caused significant harm.
Employers, business owners, people in control of work premises, and designated responsible persons are typically responsible for reporting incidents under RIDDOR.
Reportable diseases may include occupational asthma, certain infections, carpal tunnel syndrome linked to work activities, dermatitis, and other work-related health conditions specified by regulations.
RIDDOR is a UK reporting regulation focused on workplace incidents and diseases, while OSHA generally refers to occupational safety and health regulatory frameworks that establish broader workplace safety standards and enforcement requirements.
Examples include workplace fractures (excluding fingers and toes in some cases), serious burns, loss of consciousness caused by workplace incidents, dangerous machinery failures, and accidents resulting in extended absence from work.
