According to RIDDOR 1995, what must employers report?

The correct choice highlights the requirements set forth by the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) of 1995. According to these regulations, employers are obligated to report specific types of incidents that occur in the workplace. This includes certain injuries that result in an employee being unable to work for more than seven days, occupational diseases that are linked to work activities, and dangerous occurrences, which are near-misses or situations that could have led to injuries.

This reporting is vital for the health and safety framework within a workplace, as it helps identify patterns and areas needing improvement to prevent future incidents, ensuring a safer environment for employees. The emphasis on reporting only specific incidents allows for a focus on significant events while not overburdening reporting systems with minor issues or unrelated expenses.

In contrast, other choices do not align with RIDDOR's intent: reporting only serious accidents involving multiple injuries would limit accountability and overlook important data, while all workplace expenses do not concern health and safety incidents at all. Volunteer injuries only would not encompass the full scope of the workforce that RIDDOR intends to protect.
