Did you know less than a fifth of all non-fatal workplace injuries are reported under RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations)?

Nobody wants accidents to happen. But sadly accidents at work can happen and it is important for everyone to know what to do in case it does.
