In this assignment I will describe three different health and safety legislation that promotes the safety of individuals within a health and social care setting. Reporting of Injuries, Illnesses and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) -RIDDOR came into operation in April 1998; it requires the reporting of workplace accidents, illnesses and hazardous events in all workplaces. It applies to all work activities but does not apply to all incidents. The law now requires all workplaces to report incidents and health problems at work. This collected information allows enforcement authorities and other agencies to identify where and how risks occur and to investigate serious accidents. All people, including employers and self-employed people. or persons who control the work premises will have duties under RIDDOR regulations. Workplaces must maintain appropriate and accurate records as required by RIDDOR regulations; These records help identify trends in accidents and injuries and will be useful when carrying out risk assessments. Employees' personal files must also be retained, but must remain confidential in order to comply with data protection law. In the event of work-related claims, workplaces can also ensure that they keep all of their records and information, as the insurance company will want to see these records. These records should be kept secure and in an organized manner, such as keeping them in a folder, keeping them in a folder. on a computer, in an accident book or in a written logbook. Regardless of how records are kept, they must be kept in a secure location, as RIDDOR records must be retained for at least three years after the date of the last reported and recorded incident.

All premises dealing with food products registered with the council are inspected on a priority basis based on risk. New premises must register with the local authority so that an initial visit can be organized and carried out, this will enable them to give advice on compliance with the rules set out in the Food Safety Act. Anyone working with and handling food must complete food hygiene training to ensure they comply with food safety law..
