HSE Launches Consultation on RIDDOR Changes
The Health and Safety Executive has opened a consultation on proposed revisions to the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR). The changes aim to clarify ambiguous definitions, modernise the list of dangerous occurrences, and broaden who can diagnose reportable occupational diseases. HSE also plans to simplify the online reporting form to curb both under‑reporting and over‑reporting. The consultation runs until 30 June 2026, inviting feedback from construction firms and other high‑risk sectors.
