Report an accident or illness

In law, you must report certain workplace injuries, near-misses and cases of work-related disease to the HSE. This duty is under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations, known as RIDDOR.

The HSE website explains what must be reported and how to make a report.

Reporting a workplace concern

Before reporting, please check and make sure we are the the correct enforcing authority.

Please include your name, your phone number, and your email address. We need this information to:

  • find out if we are speaking to the right person
  • contact you for further information if it is needed
  • let you know if we are not responsible for the issue

  • let you know if action is taken

If you do not give us your phone number or email address, and there is not enough information in the report, we may not be able to do anything about your concern.
