Incident Reporting with Built-in RIDDOR Detection

Log injuries, near-misses, and dangerous occurrences. swiftRMS flags which are RIDDOR-reportable and calculates your HSE deadline. Linked to your RAMS and permits for full audit-ready context.

Full Pro features during trial. No credit card required.

Missing a RIDDOR deadline is a prosecutable offence

Paper incident books don't protect your business

When the HSE investigates or your insurer asks, you need more than a notebook.

Deadlines slip

RIDDOR requires filing within 10 or 15 days depending on category. Without a system flagging it, the first time you realise is when a letter arrives from the HSE.

No audit trail

A site book in a van doesn't cut it. You need signed, timestamped records showing exactly who reported, who reviewed, who closed, and when.

Investigations take weeks

When the HSE asks 'show me the RAMS, the permit, the incident report', you need them in one place. Scattered Excel and paper means days of digging.

Built-in RIDDOR detection

Never miss a reportable incident

swiftRMS checks every incident against the four RIDDOR categories and tells you the exact deadline before you close the form.

Specified injuries and fatalities

10 days

Fractures (not fingers/toes), amputations, loss of sight, crush injuries, serious burns, scalpings, unconsciousness, and any injury requiring 24+ hours in hospital.

Over-7-day injuries

15 days

Injuries that leave the person unable to carry out their normal duties for more than 7 consecutive days (not counting the day of the incident).

Dangerous occurrences

10 days

Specified near-miss events like scaffold collapses, releases of substances, overturned lifts — reportable even with no injury.

Occupational diseases

10 days

HAVS, occupational asthma, dermatitis, cancers from work agents, and other HSE-listed conditions linked to work exposure.

swiftRMS flags the category and deadline for you, with a direct link to the HSE F2508 online form. You file with HSE, paste the reference back into swiftRMS, and the record stays permanently.

Five incident types, one consistent process

Every type uses the same workflow. Report, review, close. Auto-RIDDOR check throughout.

Injury
Near Miss
Property Damage
Work-Related Illness
Dangerous Occurrence

How the incident workflow runs

Two minutes to log, signed audit trail, HSE-ready PDF on export.

1

Log the incident

Pick the type and severity. swiftRMS flags RIDDOR reportability in real time. Fill in location, description, people involved, and immediate actions. Takes two minutes.

2

Link to the compliance chain

Optionally link to the active project, the RAMS that governed the work, and the permit that was open. Full context preserved for investigators.

3

Review, then close

Supervisor reviews. Manager closes once root cause and preventive actions are in place. Every state change signed with IP and timestamp.

4

RIDDOR reference captured

Filed F2508 with HSE? Paste the reference back into swiftRMS. Status flips from 'unfiled' to 'filed' with the date stored permanently.

Frequently asked questions

What is RIDDOR and why does swiftRMS check for it?+

RIDDOR stands for the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013. It defines which workplace incidents must be reported to the HSE, by whom, and within what deadline. Missing a RIDDOR deadline is a prosecutable offence. swiftRMS auto-flags which incidents look reportable so you never miss one.

How does the RIDDOR auto-detection work?+

When you log an incident, swiftRMS looks at the type (injury, near miss, damage, illness, dangerous occurrence) and severity (low to critical) and maps it against the RIDDOR reporting categories. A red banner appears if the incident is reportable, with the exact deadline (usually 10 or 15 days) and a direct link to the HSE F2508 form. It's a heuristic — the final call is always yours — but it stops deadlines slipping.

Can I link an incident to a specific RAMS, project, or permit?+

Yes. When logging an incident you can optionally link it to the project, the approved RAMS that was in force, and the permit to work that was active. This gives you a full chain of evidence for HSE investigations and insurance claims — 'the operative was working under this permit, which was derived from this RAMS, for this project'.

What incident types can I log?+

Five types are supported in v1: Injury (someone was hurt), Near Miss (no harm this time, but could have been serious), Property Damage (equipment, vehicle, structure), Work-Related Illness (health condition linked to work exposure), and Dangerous Occurrence (collapse, release, overturn — even without injury).

Who can review and close incidents?+

Any supervisor, manager, owner, or admin can log and review incidents. Closing an incident (after root cause and preventive actions are in place) requires manager or admin role. Every state change is captured with a signature, timestamp, IP address, and user role for a defensible audit trail.

Which plans include Incident Reporting?+

Incident Reporting is included on Business (£149/month) and Enterprise (£249/month) plans, alongside Permits to Work, team features, and the audit trail. Pro plan is focused on RAMS generation for individual contractors.
