2 Author: Service: Division Peter Dempsey Resources Health & Safety Unit Intended Target Group: Educational Establishments Last Reviewed: October 2003
3 Introduction: Children s Service Local Code of Practice No 4 Reporting Accidents, Incidents and Dangerous Occurrences The reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 1995 places a legal duty on the LA to report specified injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences The general duty of care imposed by the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes it good practice to record all accidents so that trends can be identified and remedial action taken to reduce risk Application: This local code of practice establishes standards to be complied with by all community schools and acts as guidance to both Voluntary Aided and Foundation Schools. Responsibilities: Responsibility for reporting injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences rests with the Premises Controller on duty. Governing Bodies have a general duty to co-operate with the LA in meeting its legal duties to report and record accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences arising out of activities within the control of the LA or Governing Body. Accident Reporting: Appendix A outlines the procedure to be followed when an accident, dangerous occurrence or near miss occurs. An accident has been defined by RIDDOR as including " an act of non consensual physical violence done to a person at work". Accident Investigation: All accidents should be investigated by the Premises Controller or Supervisor responsible for the premises at the time of the incident, with a view to preventing a reoccurrence. Remedial action should be taken promptly. The Safety Liaison Officer shall initiate the investigation of those accidents reportable to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). The Trades Union elected Health & Safety Representative for the workplace also has a statutory right to investigate an accident and the premise's controller should co-operate in this.
4 Accident/incident statistics Statistics will be monitored as follows: Accidents at schools Health & Safety Unit Accidents in other services/departments By their respective administration sections Records Copies of forms F2508, F2508A and AI 1 forms should be kept on site for a period of 4 years.

A copy of this should be sent to the Health & Safety Unit and a copy kept for your own records. When reporting the incident a reference number will be given, this reference number should be entered onto the AI1 forms, to confirm that a notifiable incident has been reported. Further details are available at www. Riddor.gov.uk 2. Health & Safety Unit on Advise the Trades Union elected Health & Safety representatives who are entitled to investigate the cause of any notifiable accident.

7 Copy to your service admin section (non schools premises only) If the Dangerous Occurrence is defined in Appendix D as reportable to the HSE, phone and send copies of the completed F2508 forms to Health & Safety and the service admin section. Reporting Diseases When an employee who does a specific type of work is known to be suffering from a related reportable disease this must be reported to the HSE Non School Premises: On receipt of a medical certificate from an employee, diagnosing a reportable disease, a Human Resources Officer must notify the Health & Safety Unit who will arrange for the Form F2508A to be completed and sent to the HSE.
