There is a legal requirement through the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) for a responsible person (employers, the self-employed and individuals in control of work premises) to notify and keep records of specified workplace incidents.

In the construction industry, incident reporting systems (IRSs) can be implemented by organisations as a means of analysing, tracking and documenting all accidents and incidents that take place across the organisation or on a specific project site. The data that is gathered is then used to develop mitigation strategies to improve safety.
