Introduction to RIDDOR Training for Workplace Reporting

Knowing When an Incident Becomes a Reportable Event

Not every workplace incident is reportable under RIDDOR, but failing to recognise the events that are can expose an organisation to unnecessary legal and regulatory risk. This course introduces the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 and gives staff a clear starting point for understanding the purpose of statutory incident reporting. Designed for organisations that need reporting responsibilities to be understood before an incident occurs, the programme explains RIDDOR in practical terms. It helps learners appreciate why accurate reporting matters, how it supports accountability and investigation, and where their own role sits within a wider health-and-safety response.

Why this Training Matters for your Organisation

Incident reporting is one of the points at which an organisation’s safety culture is tested. Delays, uncertainty, or incomplete information can undermine investigation, prevent lessons being learned, and create avoidable compliance exposure. By developing a shared understanding of RIDDOR, employers can improve escalation routes, support timely decisions, and ensure serious injuries, diseases, and dangerous occurrences receive the attention required by law.

Who Should Attend

This course is suitable for:

• Managers, supervisors, and responsible persons involved in workplace incident reporting or health-and-safety administration.
• Organisations seeking a clearer baseline of RIDDOR awareness across operational and management teams.

The programme introduces the core principles of RIDDOR, including:

• What RIDDOR is and why the regulations require certain work-related events to be reported.
• The difference between reportable injuries, diseases, and dangerous occurrences.
• The importance of clear records, prompt internal escalation, and accurate information when an incident occurs.
• How RIDDOR awareness contributes to stronger investigation, learning, and workplace safety management.

At the end of the training, learners complete a 20-question multiple-choice assessment. A score of 80% is needed to pass. Answers are marked automatically and the result is accessible instantly. Learners can make further attempts whenever necessary, without additional charge.

Team and Company Bookings

Where RIDDOR knowledge is required across several functions, company access provides a central way to assign training and check completion. This can support consistent awareness among managers, supervisors, safety representatives, and staff who may be involved in incident reporting.
