One thing I have noticed is that in the old electronic system it was possible to save a pdf copy of the RIDDOR report. This is no longer the case, so a hard copy is the only option.

I wouldn't say that I have had any difficulty although I am pretty sure on my last one that it didn't ask the question about "what am I going to do, if anything, to prevent a similar occurrence" - or was I going mad? Yes, agree with John J that you can save a copy before sending and you get an attachment as well in your 'confirmation e mail'

Yes, we are having problems with it. Not all of the drop downs fit our activities in the same way as they used or if they are seem to be presented in a different order, resulting in a fair number of reports going in the 'other' category - which in the long run is going to make a nonsense of the statistics. With Dangerous Occurrences there is no facility to record any injuries of employees involved so two separate reports are needed for the same incident. In our drive towards paperless systems it is irritating that we cannot save an electronic copy of our submissions, but instead are having to print a copy from the screen

Blast, I had written a response and lost it, so briefly. But you’re right I am going mad, if you press the little “?” mark it does reveal all of the same ‘stuff’ in the old part G. For PL53 – when you get to the final page (5), hit the “Form preview” button and save from there before submitting. If you provide a correct e mail address you will also get an electronic copy. Also agree with Bob, in that the choice of categories appears rather limited, or at least doesn’t always seem a good ‘fit’ with our activities. It may be that these are the same categories that the ICC have used ‘at the other end’ all the time and that they used to assign what we wrote into one of those categories as a ‘best fit’. Overall, I don’t have any big problems with it.

It’s new therefore better even when it’s not! I am not sure if anybody has said that, but if some people feel that it is either better, or of no great problem, surely they are entitled to say so? My page 1 details DO come up again when I go to submit another report; because I ticked the box that says "Remember me"!

It did take some getting used to, but once we had decided a standard process to ensure consistent reporting it did seem to work okay. We did miss a few receipts to begin with, but that also seems to have sorted itself out.
