I would place it on the network or intranet then circluate a link by e mail. Also I would put it on the H&S noticeboard(s) for those that don't have e mail access

Why do you want to display something about RIDDOR? There is no legal duty to do so. What about all the other regulations? Are you going to post something on them? The best method is to publish a comprehensive set of health and safety arrangements, on the computer is a very good way of doing it. Brief staff on the whole set of arrangements and make sure the arrangements are easily readable. Back this up with safety talks/briefings periodically and that will maintain the subject in the eyes of those who you wish to inform about them. Simply puting up a notice on the notice board remains in the minds of people for a very short time as it becomes jusxt part of the ignored background. A well presented set of safety arrangements that are realistic and often reminded to staff works extremely well and keeps up with any changes as they arise.

Listen to Bob S as its good advice. Additionally day to day staff do not need to know its only those who may need to report and process docs that need to know

I don't see any point in displaying the RIDDOR procedure. But there is every point in informing everyone of the internal incident reporting procedure. And that should be such a simple procedure that you don't really need to display it.

Maybe something for the board to look at as they enter the grounds?

I too would not generally publish the procedure to all staff, but I have seen the Chancellor poster ahoskins has refereed you too or similar in house sheets/flow diagram, used in multy site companies where the local "manager" is responsible for reporting RIDDORs used to great effect. Don't always need to be an a wall, they may be in the safety policy, managers handbook or any other appropriate document the company uses.

all staff should know how, and be positively encouraged, to report accidents and near misses, and that should be covered at induction. Very few of your staff need to know how the employer complies with the intracies of RIDDOR. Consultation Forums are the best place to present stats etc.

With all due respect to the other posters on this question, I don't think we should be questioning the reasons why Rachel wants to publish this information.
We don't actually publish this information to all staff - though I do mention the process during induction of new staff. We do however display the suggested poster in our reception area as useful information.
One of the 'problems' with this forum is that contributors often offer criticisms which are potentially irrelevant without knowing the reason for the original poster's question.
Best wishes

I tend to agree with Alan. I use a flow chart but there is also some information on the Incident Report form, and within the EAPs for the leisure centres as well.
