RIDDOR’s over-three-day injury reporting requirement has changed and PowerPoints updated

As of 6 April 2012, RIDDOR’s over-three-day injury reporting requirement has changed. The trigger point has increased from over three days’ to over seven days’ incapacitation (not counting the day on which the accident happened).

Incapacitation means that the worker is absent or is unable to do work that they would reasonably be expected to do as part of their normal work.

Employers and others with responsibilities under RIDDOR must still keep a record of all over-three day-injuries – if the employer has to keep an accident book, then this record will be enough.

You must still keep a record of the accident if the worker has been incapacitated for more than three consecutive days. If you are an employer, who must keep an accident book under the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1979, that record can be treated as a record for the purposes of RIDDOR.

The deadline by which the over-seven-day injury must be reported has also increased to fifteen days from the day of the accident.  New leaflet available at http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg453.pdf and the EFAW, FAW, FAWR and Manual Handling PowerPoints have been changed and on the dashboard.

We have added a site where care workers can access all the mandatory courses in the care sector in one place at a reduced price.  You can use your discount code to give out or use the link creator to make web links and earn commissions.

To the family of an elderly person, nothing is more important than the care and treatment of their loved one. That is why ProTrainings provides training and service specifically built for the care industry. Our tools allow administrators to focus on their core objective of providing quality care to their residents while ensuring the highest training standards for care takers.

Training doesn’t have to be boring and it absolutely must be quality. ProTrainings makes this happen for each and every student by providing customized, relevant and consistent training courses. Each course is made up of small 2 to 3 minute videos segments, each covering a specific topic. After completing a few segments, a student will be asked questions to ensure they understand the information just covered. Once through the training, the student will be able to take the final test. Once the test is completed with a passing score, the course will be marked as complete.

Certificates can be printed off after each course, and students will have access to the site for 8 months to see new videos and refresh on their skills. Students all receive free weekly video emails to keep skills fresh, a free PDF student manual, and free reminders when requalifying is due. If a practical part is also required, this can be carried out by one of our national approved instructors.
