You do not need to report incidents of disease or deaths of members of the public, patients, care home residents, or service users from COVID For certain incidents, such as occupational, the first two steps may not be necessary so you may need to follow the guidance from step three onwards. Every employee should report incidents or accidents to their manager. Immediately after the incident has occurred you must assess the situation and decide whether there is a risk of further damage or injury.
Ensure that you do not put yourself in danger. Your own health is the most important thing to consider here, so do not act unless it is safe to do so. If you are able to remove the source of danger then carefully do so to manage the risk. For example, you may be able to safely turn off equipment or vehicles. For example, RIDDOR incidents in this sector could include an employee who has contracted any disease attributed to an occupational exposure to a biological agent, such as blood contaminated with hepatitis B.
In this instance, an appropriately trained person may reduce the risk of further danger by following the correct procedure to isolate and contain the blood. Next, you should have the qualified first aider look at the injured person. It is a legal requirement for every workplace to have both a designated first aider and first aid kit.
Having assessed the situation, the first aider should be able to determine whether the situation is serious enough for those involved to receive medical care. This is the final step that can be carried out if you are a general employee.
Once the manager has been informed of the incident it becomes their responsibility to report under RIDDOR if necessary. The specifics of what incidents need reporting can be seen here.

Reports submitted under RIDDOR must be submitted online, via the HSE website, within 10 days of the incident happening; or within 15 days if the person injured needed to take more than 7 days sick leave from work.
The report must include the following details:. Any incident that results in an employee being left incapacitated for over 3 consecutive days should be recorded by the employer in their own accident book, but does not necessarily need to be reported to RIDDOR.
