Last chance to have your say on RIDDOR

25 March 2011

IOSH is asking members to help shape its response to proposed changes in the way workplace accidents and ill health are reported.

In February, the Government launched its consultation on Lord Young’s recommended shake-up of RIDDOR, including a change in the ‘three-day injury’ rule.

IOSH responded by inviting members to send in their views – and they did, in their hundreds. The comments we received were collated and developed into a draft response document.

Now, we’d like our members to have the final say on that response before it’s submitted to the Health and Safety Executive.

We’re looking for positive input to improve our document so it has a real impact on the policy reforms. You can let us know your thoughts on any aspect of this response by logging on to the Member Forums and visiting the 'Draft RIDDOR Response' forum.

Our call comes after the Government announced “a new start for health and safety regulation for Britain’s businesses”.

IOSH’s Executive Director of Policy, Dr Luise Vassie, met Minister of Employment the Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP ahead of the official announcement that he would be steering the Government review.
