<p>The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013
(RIDDOR) are made under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and apply to all
sectors and workplaces in Great Britain.</p><p> </p><p>The 2013 regulations clarified
and simplified the list of reportable ill-health conditions (occupational diseases),
as a result of a recommendation made by Professor Löfstedt in his report “<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reclaiming-health-and-safety-for-all-lofstedt-report"
target="_blank">Reclaiming health and safety for all: An independent review of health
and safety legislation</a>,” published in 2011.</p><p> </p><p>The Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) keeps the regulations, including specified injuries and reportable
diseases, under review. The list of current reportable occupational diseases, including
silicosis, will be considered as part of the next formal post-implementation review
of RIDDOR, which is due to report in October 2023. HSE will engage with a range of
stakeholders as part of the review process.</p>
