Log incidents and near misses (with RIDDOR flagging)
Pro and above
From your project's Documents tab, open the Incident & Near-Miss Log. Record it when it happens — timestamped and project-linked, so if the HSE ever asks, you've got a proper audit trail.
Log an incident
Click Log an Incident / Near Miss to open the form.
Record when, where, the type and severity, who was involved and what happened.
Types: Near Miss (default), Injury, Dangerous Occurrence, Damage. Include the cause in the description — it also drives the automatic RIDDOR check.
Add any immediate actions taken, then click Log Incident.
If RIDDOR may apply
Flagged incidents show a red ⚠ RIDDOR may apply banner with the reason and deadline (for example: fatal — report immediately; major injury — within 10 days; dangerous occurrence — within 15 days), and the page summarises any unresolved flags at the top with a link to the HSE RIDDOR portal. After you've reported it, click Mark as reported to HSE — the incident then shows Reported to HSE in your records and the Audit-Ready Pack.
Frequently asked questions
How does the RIDDOR flagging work?
Automatically. A fatal or major-severity incident, a dangerous occurrence, or a description mentioning things like fractures, hospitalisation or seven-day absences gets flagged "RIDDOR may apply" with the reporting deadline, plus a direct link to the HSE RIDDOR portal. Reporting to the HSE is still your action — once you've done it, click "Mark as reported to HSE" so the record shows it.
Should I log near misses too?
Yes — Near Miss is the default type for a reason. A logged near-miss trail shows an inspector you spot and act on hazards before they become injuries.
Which plan includes the incident log?
Pro and above (project-scoped).
