Employers and employees can use this book to record details of work-related injuries for which state benefits could be payable.

The Accident Book is a valuable document that organisations can use to record accident information. It can be used to record details of injuries from accidents at work that employers must report under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR).

Please note that the law changed on 6 April 2012. If a worker sustains an occupational injury resulting from an accident, their injury should be reported if they are incapacitated for more than seven days. There is no longer a requirement to report occupational injuries that result in more than three days of incapacitation, but you must still keep a record of such injuries.

Note on the new edition
Both 2012 and 2018 versions are valid to use, the only difference is updated content referring to GDPR compliance but that each book is no less compliant that the other.

The Accident Book is designed to support users in being GDPR compliant. The current edition provides an approved format that organisations can use to record accident information. That information must then be stored in compliance with GDPR principles.

Please be aware, the onus is always on the user of the book and their companies data protection policies to ensure that GDPR is fully complied with.
