Sample questions
01What does the acronym RIDDOR stand for?
- ARecording of Incidents, Disruptions and Daily Operational Reports
- BReview of Inspections, Duties and Design Operational Requirements
- CRegulation of Industrial Damage, Defects and Operational Risks
- DReporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations
Why: RIDDOR stands for the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013. These regulations require employers, the self-employed, and people in control of work premises to report certain serious workplace accidents, occupational diseases, and specified dangerous occurrences to the HSE.
02Under RIDDOR 2013, a fatal workplace accident must be reported to the HSE within what time frame?
- AWithin 15 days of the accident, in the same way as an over-seven-day injury
- BWithin 10 days, using the online F2508 reporting form
- CWithout delay — by the quickest practicable means (usually telephone)
- DWithin 24 hours, by email to the local authority environmental health team
Why: Fatal accidents and specified injuries must be reported to the HSE without delay by the quickest practicable means, which is usually by telephone to the HSE's Incident Contact Centre. A written report must then follow within 10 days using the online reporting system.
03Who is responsible for reporting a RIDDOR-reportable incident to the HSE?
- AThe responsible person — usually the employer, self-employed person, or person in control of the premises
- BThe injured worker, who must complete an F2508 form for their own accident within ten days
- CThe Health and Safety Executive inspector for the region, once notified by the site manager
- DThe first aider who treated the casualty, as part of completing the accident book entry
Why: The duty to report under RIDDOR falls on the 'responsible person', which is typically the employer, a self-employed person, or the person in control of the premises where the work is being carried out. Individual workers are not responsible for making RIDDOR reports.
