Accident and dangerous occurrence records

Accident recordin​​g and record books​​​​​

There is no legal requirement for employers to record accidents or dangerous occurrences.

Keeping a record can assist in identifying recurring problems and may be helpful should a civil claim arise from the incident.

Copies of the 'Accident Record Book' are available to collect, free of charge, from the Health and Safety Inspectorate at Maritime House.

It can also be downloaded. Print page three to obtain individual record sheets.
