You will stay up to date with the instruments and guidance this course tracks: the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013, SI 2013/1471, made 12 June 2013 and in force 1 October 2013; the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, whose Approved Code of Practice L21 was withdrawn on 31 July 2013 and has never been replaced; the Health and Safety (Enforcing Authority) Regulations 1998; the Health and Safety Executive's own guidance HSG245 and HSG48 and its human factors pages; the Enforcement Management Model and the incident selection criteria; the Sentencing Council definitive guideline in force since 1 February 2016; the parallel care sector duties in the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009, regulation 20 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 and section 42 of the Care Act 2014; and the separate Northern Ireland instrument, S.R. 1997/455. The Health and Safety Executive's consultation on reportable diseases and dangerous occurrences closed on 30 June 2026; no amending instrument has been made, so the course teaches it as a proposal and not as law.

The content is written by health and safety practitioners and is built directly on primary sources: RIDDOR 2013, and SI 2012/199, which moved the threshold from over three days to over seven days with effect from 6 April 2012 by amending RIDDOR 1995; the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974; the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999; the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998; the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002; HSG245 and HSG48; the Enforcement Management Model; and the Sentencing Council definitive guideline. Every requirement taught names its regulation or its guidance, every published figure names the Health and Safety Executive release it comes from, and the course is explicit about which familiar figures — the accident triangle ratios, any percentage of accidents attributed to human error, any average fine — could not be traced to a retrievable source and are therefore not asserted.
