Investigation - Stage 2: Decide whether to investigate

Selecting accidents and incidents for investigation following a report under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR)

Decisions on whether to investigate reports under RIDDOR are made by selecting those where the risk is highest and where the greatest regulatory impact can be made with our available resources.

We use an evidence-based approach to select RIDDOR reports for further enquires and investigation. This approach helps us to decide on the most appropriate type of intervention. It also means that not every report will be investigated.
