Accident & Incident Investigation Form
Health & Safety Xpert™ Total Toolkit is an easy to use software package that will save you massive amounts of time producing crucial health and safety documentation legally required under current UK law. This includes the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and the new Construction Design Management (CDM) Regulations 2007.
RIDDOR, or the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995, places a legal duty on:
- employers;
- the self-employed; and
- those in control of premises;
to notify and report some work-related accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences to the relevant enforcing authority for their work activity (see Accident & Incident Record for more details.)
The causes of all accidents and incidents (including ‘near misses’) should be established in order to enable appropriate preventive action to be taken in the future. This is an essential part of the reactive monitoring of your company’s Health and safety standards. Use the Accident & Incident Investigation Form included with Health & Safety Xpert™ software to carry out this function.
It is important to file these records so that they could be consulted by an inspector if necessary.
