4.1 Health and Safety Statistics
In the UK, the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR)6 requires
employers and individuals in control of work premises, such as offshore installations, to report certain workplace
accidents, occupational diseases and specified dangerous occurrences. Duty holders offshore must report these
to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). In this publication, the following types of incidents as defined by RIDDOR
are examined:
• Fatalities – all deaths that arise from a work-related accident
• Over-Seven-Day Injuries – accidents that cause an employee to be away from work or unable to perform their
normal work activities for more than seven consecutive days
• Specified Injuries – as listed in Regulation 4 of RIDDOR 2013 and including injuries such as fractures (other than
to fingers, thumbs and toes) and amputations
• Dangerous Occurrences – certain specified events, such as hydrocarbon releases (HCRs), fires or explosions,
dropped objects and weather damage
