Health and Safety at Work

The law requires certain work-related injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences to be reported to Health and Safety Executive.

 What needs to be reported

• death or major injuries to an employee or self-employed person working on your premises;
• death or hospitalisation of a member of the public;
• disease suffered by an employee that is related to work activities;
• dangerous occurrence that does not result in a reportable injury but which clearly could have done;
• over seven day injury (not counting the day on which it happened) to an employee or self-employed person working on your premises. The report must be made within 15 days of the accident.
