Navigating RIDDOR regulations with Novade: A better way to manage RIDDOR incident reporting

The benefits of using Novade for RIDDOR incident reporting

Streamlined reporting – Actionable insights

Novade’s HSE Module allows for the digitisation of incident reporting. When a RIDDOR incident occurs, it can be logged directly into on the mobile app in real-time, ensuring that all relevant details are captured accurately and promptly shared with the appropriate stakeholders. This eliminates the need for paper-based reporting, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Novade’s platform doesn’t just collect data; we leverage it to provide valuable insights. This means that over time, companies can identify trends and patterns in RIDDOR incidents. This data-driven approach can lead to more effective strategies for preventing incidents and improving overall site safety.

Enhanced communication – Incident investigation

Communication is key in the aftermath of a RIDDOR incident. Novade’s software facilitates better communication by ensuring that all relevant parties can access up-to-date information about the incident. This can include site managers, safety officers, project leaders and even external bodies like health and safety inspectors. In the event of an incident, an investigation is usually required to determine the cause and prevent similar incidents in the future. With the HSE module designated users can facilitate this process by providing a platform for logging all relevant information, tracking the progress of the investigation, and storing the findings and recommendations. scheduling audits, recording findings, and tracking the implementation of any necessary corrective actions are critical to enabling thorough risk assessments which can be performed, updated, and managed on an ongoing basis.

Resource management – Training and competency tracking

Novade also helps with the tracking of progress and resources. In the context of RIDDOR, this means that the construction health and safety management platform can help manage the aftermath of an incident. This could involve tracking the recovery of injured personnel, managing repairs to damaged equipment, or overseeing changes to site processes. The platform can also easily flag out which competencies are absent from site in the short run due to incident.

Training is essential for ensuring that all workers have the necessary skills and knowledge to work safely. The Novade People module can be used to track training records, ensuring that all workers have completed the necessary safety training and have the right qualifications & insurance to perform the job at hand. This can also help companies identify any gaps in training that need to be addressed.

Improved compliance & lessons learned

With Novade, all relevant project assurance information is collected and stored in the desired structure in perpetuity ensuring that lessons can be extracted from each incident/inspection/audit that can be shared across the business. The app allows for the monitoring of the dispersion of these lessons, the actions taken based on the learnings which can help prevent incidents from occurring in the first place.

Contractor management
