What does the RIDDOR course cover?
RIDDOR stands for the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013. If someone is seriously hurt at work, or a dangerous incident comes close to causing harm, the law expects the right person to report it to the enforcing authority within a set deadline. This online RIDDOR training course explains how that duty works in practice, so the person responsible in your business knows what to do long before an incident ever happens.
The course opens with the purpose of the regulations and who they apply to. It then works through the categories in detail, covering which injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences must be reported and which fall outside the rules. That distinction trips up plenty of managers, and getting it wrong can mean a missed legal deadline or an unnecessary report. The final module walks through submitting a report itself, including who is allowed to report and the time limits set in law.
Training takes around 25 minutes across four modules, each ending with a short test that needs a 70 percent score to pass. Everything runs online, so a supervisor can complete it at their desk in one sitting or spread it over a few breaks. Once the final test is passed, the certificate is ready to download straight away.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the RIDDOR course take?
There is around 25 minutes of training across four modules. It runs entirely online at your own pace, so you can finish it in one sitting or return to it whenever suits.
Is RIDDOR training a legal requirement?
RIDDOR itself is law, and it places reporting duties on employers and those in charge of work premises. Training is a sensible way to make sure the person carrying that duty understands what to report and by when.
Is the course approved?
This course is certificated rather than externally approved. You receive a certificate to download once you pass the final test, which you can keep as evidence of training for audits and inspections.
How does the assessment work?
Each module ends with a short test and the pass mark is 70 percent. You can review the material and retake a test if you need another attempt.
Who in my business should take this course?
Whoever would actually make the report, usually a supervisor, manager or the business owner. Many companies also train a deputy so cover is in place during holidays and absence.
Can I enrol several members of staff?
Yes. Order as many places as you need and each learner gets their own login and their own certificate. Get in touch if you are booking a larger group.
