Accidents Books
ORDERING AN ACCIDENT BOOK
The legal requirements for recording and reporting accidents, diseases and dangerous incidents at work are laid down in the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1979, the Social Security Administration Act 1992 and the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 1995.
To comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), personal details entered in accident books must be kept confidential. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have redesigned the exisiting accident book so that individual record sheets can be removed and stored securely. This will help you to keep personal information confidential.
This book also contains guidance on:
-
The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995;
-
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.
