Website disruption on Tuesday 28 and Wednesday 29 April

We're carrying out an essential server upgrade from 9pm on Tuesday 28 April, continuing into the morning of Wednesday 29 April. During this time, some parts of our website may not work as expected.

Please do not attempt to make payments through the website during this period, as these may fail or not be processed correctly. You may also experience issues when trying to check information (such as planning applications or bin dates), download documents or submit online forms.

We expect everything to be back up and running by midday on Wednesday 29 April.

We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we carry out these improvements.

Accidents at work

The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) is the law that requires employers, and anyone else with responsibility for health and safety within a workplace, to report and keep records of:

  • work-related deaths
  • specified serious injuries
  • injuries that result in absence from work for over seven days
  • injuries to a person not at work who is taken to hospital for treatment directly from the premises
  • cases of diagnosed industrial disease
  • near miss accidents.

You must report incidents as soon as possible. The best and easiest way to do this is online to the HSE.

The information will be submitted directly to the RIDDOR database and you will receive a copy for your records.

All incidents can be reported online but a telephone service remains for reporting fatal and major injuries only. Call 0845 300 9923 (Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5pm).
