Contents
England, Wales & Scotland
All incidents in England, Wales and Scotland can be reported online via the HSE website.
For further HSE guidance on RIDDOR, see Reporting accidents and incidents at work (PDF).
Northern Ireland
Incidents in Northern Ireland should be reported by contacting the local office of the enforcing authority (usually HSENI) by telephone. They will ask for brief details about your business, the injured person and the accident. You must follow this up with a completed HSENI report form, which can be obtained from the HSENI website.
