Which organization is responsible for enforcing RIDDOR reporting requirements?

• A. HSE
• B. NHS
• C. BBC
• D. DEFRA

Answer: (A)

RIDDOR requires certain work-related injuries, illnesses, and dangerous occurrences to be reported so regulators can monitor safety performance and take action. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the organization responsible for enforcing these reporting requirements. They oversee most workplaces and ensure that notifications are made when incidents occur; in some sectors, local authorities handle enforcement, but the national enforcing body is HSE. The NHS, BBC, and DEFRA do not enforce RIDDOR; NHS is a health service, the BBC is a broadcaster, and DEFRA handles environment and agriculture policy, not workplace incident reporting enforcement.
