Reporting Regulations

Question
Which industries are included within the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations.

The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR) are made under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HSW Act) and apply a single set of reporting requirements to all work activities in Great Britain and to the offshore oil and gas industry but not to all incidents.
