Recently a temporary worker was injured whilst working for our Company.
As Safety Officer I recorded this incident in our Accident Book,and carried out the necessary investigation.
Please can anyone tell me whether the Agency who employed this worker has a responsibility to record and investigate this incident.

Employers have a duty under Social Security law to record accidents. A 'responsible person' (normally the person in control of the work or workplace) must report certain injuries under the 1995 RIDDOR Regulations and employers must report deaths from injuries and dangerous occurrences at work. Whilst a specific duty to investigate accidents is still a proposal, employers and persons in control would have difficulty in meeting their duties under HASAWA and the Management of H&S at Work Regs, etc to provide for health and safety without investigations where necessary.
