Do all accidents have to be recorded in the yellow B1510 accident book?
I'm reviewing our accident/incident reporting procedures and at the moment each office has its own B1510 accident book which is used to record any accidents for that office but the majority of our employees are construction site based personal and mobile workers who complete a one page accident report form in the event of an accident on a site, this information is recorded on spreadsheet and if required investigated by SHEQ Department but should it also be entered into the accident book?
Thanks
Martin

At my last employment we never had an accident book, we had a spreadsheet system for recording accidents and a paper investigation form which was stored on site which I controlled and reviewed with the Head of Ops for the site. This was on a drive accessible to other sites and the Exec. This helped to give some uniformity to how accidents and incidents were recorded and investigated.

We have an electronic reporting system so don't use this book at all. As long as you log the required information in a manner which meets the requirements of Data Protection Act then you can use whatever format you see fit.
From HSE Website "You can buy an accident book from HSE Books or record the details in your own record system."
