Changes to the RIDDOR regs coming in next week

We just received a timely reminder from our lawyers Brabners Chaffe Street about the changes to the RIDDOR regs that are coming in on the 6th April. You can read the whole article here, but in a nutshell the changes are designed to make employers lives easier by extending the absence trigger from 3 days to 7.  The 10 day time limit for reporting absences to the HSE will also increase to 15 days. 

It is hoped that these changes will not only reduce the administrative burden on businesses, but will also result in a more accurate picture of a company's true safety record.
