The Health and Safety Executive yesterday agreed a plan for the publication of consultation documents on proposed changes to the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR).
In his report on health and safety, Lord Young recommended that RIDDOR be amended ‘by extending to seven days the period before an injury or accident needs to be reported’. In line with commitments made in the Government’s formal response to the report, HSE will open a three month consultation in January 2011.
