§ Mr. Michael Forsyth[holding answer 18 February 1994]: The Reporting of Incidents, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1985 (RIDDOR) gathers information on accidents to employees, including those aged under 16. Under regulation 3 of RIDDOR, incidents involving people who are not themselves at work —including school children—must also be reported to the Health and Safety Executive if the person sustains an injury
arising out of or in connection with work activity".
