Warehousing and Storage : Accident Recording and Reporting

In any business, things sometimes go wrong.  You need to be ready to deal with these unplanned events and minimise the potential consequences.  Look at past incidents which have caused injuries and ill health or other damage to see what you can learn.  Think about emergencies and plan for the worst that can happen.  You must have the right first-aid arrangements. Some events need to be reported to the authorities - an Accident Recording and Reporting Policy tells you how to do this.

Accident recording and reporting is required under law by the:

  1. Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1979, Regulation 25
  2. Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR)
