Accident Book
Under Social Security law, anyone making a claim for Industrial Injury Benefit must have proof that the injury is work related. Employers are required to keep a record of accidents for this purpose. As a result an Accident Book, or some equivalent means of recording accidents is needed.
In May 2003 a revised Accident Book was introduced (BL 510) to meet the requirements of the Data Protection Act (DPA). Basically this new version of the Accident Book allows individual records to be removed and stored confidentially. Employers can continue to use the old-style Accident Book until 31 December 2003. If the employer chooses to use their own accident recording system, they must ensure that records are confidential.
