Why do we do this? Three reasons: Legal compliance - the HSE places upon us a statutory duty to report the above under The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 Financial reasons - reporting leads to a healthier and safer workplace and can reduce sick leave. It can also prevent minor hazards becoming major hazards (which is why we report near misses). Moral reasons - it is the right thing to do.
