Looking to create a standard template detailing when work place incidents/accidents require reporting across Europe. Where these should be reported, when they need reporting, etc. I have worked all across the world and this is about the biggest difference to risk management that i commonly get stuck with. I'm sure it can't just be me. If you have an answer for a specific European country (other than the UK) please let me know. I will provide all the details in the post once compiled.

Hi
Hope this isn't simpyfying things too much - i'm fairly simple!
I know of a global company that report high potential near misses on a standardised layout one-page "Safety Incident Alert" - these get issued by E Mail to all key personnel in each country such as the H&S Depts. for onward communication locally.
The Template can take the form of the type of near miss and simple description for translation purposes, photos, immediate cause / underlying cause and actions / improvements to prevent a recurrence.
To start you could inform all Countries what constitiutes a "high potential near miss" - list say 10 things or more dependant on your industry and communicate UK / European-wide / etc. so they all are singing off the same hymn sheet
It works well in the UK and from other Countries from experience.
Sorry if I misunderstood your post.
Regards
SW

I take it you mean the reporting requirements of the various national enforcing bodies?

Ron - I do mean the reporting requirements from each country. SW appreciate the post - I already use templates like this to gather international data on a standardised format. That is normally the easy part. The difficulty is for each incident figuring out what the local requirements mean in relation to reporting to insurance companies, labour inspectorates, etc. I was hoping if enough of us have done it in different countries to create a simple reference document.

I do know that the recent revisions to RIDDOR and the introduction of the >7 day category mean the UK is now essentially out-of-step with many other countries across the World!
