Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)
Safety reps have a legal right to the information in the accident book, but the HSE accident forms include a tick-box to enable the injured worker to indicate whether they agree to their personal information being given to the safety rep. If an individual does not agree, the employer must still give the rep the information, but should conceal the individual’s identity and details. Safety reps are entitled to see records created for the purposes of RIDDOR except to the extent that they reveal personal health information about individuals.
