RIDDOR Shropshire

Employers have a legal duty to report certain workplace accidents, occupational diseases and dangerous occurrences under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR). Ryder Partnership Ltd provides professional RIDDOR consultancy in Shropshire, helping businesses, contractors, schools, manufacturers and public sector organisations across Telford, Shrewsbury and the wider West Midlands understand their reporting obligations and remain compliant with UK health and safety legislation.

With over 25 years’ experience in health and safety consultancy, we provide practical advice on incident reporting, accident investigations and compliance procedures, helping businesses manage workplace incidents effectively while reducing future risks.

What is RIDDOR?

The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) require employers, self-employed people and those in control of work premises to report certain work-related incidents to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Not every workplace accident is reportable, but employers must understand when an incident meets the reporting criteria and ensure reports are submitted within the required timescales.

• Understand your legal duties under RIDDOR 2013

• Ensure reports are submitted within statutory timescales
• Improve workplace accident investigation procedures
• Reduce the likelihood of repeat incidents
• Support compliance with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
• Demonstrate effective health and safety management
• Protect employees, contractors and members of the public

Frequently Asked Questions

What does RIDDOR stand for?

The responsibility usually falls on employers, self-employed people or those in control of work premises, depending on the nature of the incident and the workplace.
