Report incidents and near misses, then actually close them out
Log accidents, near misses and safeguarding events in one register, turn each into assigned corrective actions, and track them through to closure, with a timestamped record you can show anyone.
Logging it is only half the job
A paper accident book records that something happened, but it never chases the fix. The near miss that should have prevented the next accident gets forgotten, and there’s no way to show an inspector that findings were actioned. Complys captures the event and drives the corrective action through to done.
One register
Every accident and near miss in one place, what happened, where, who, and the immediate action.
Corrective actions
Turn findings into owned, dated actions and track them from open to done.
A record you can show
A timestamped audit trail for clients, insurers and inspectors.
How incident reporting works with Complys
Incidents feed the same corrective-actions hub as your audits and mock inspections, so every finding, wherever it comes from, becomes an owned, dated task through to closure.
RIDDOR and the accident book, what the law asks
Some workplace incidents must be reported to the enforcing authority under RIDDOR (the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013). The responsible person must notify deaths and specified injuries without delay, with a report received within 10 days; an over-seven-day injury must be reported within 15 days; and certain occupational diseases and dangerous occurrences are reportable too. Separately, employers keep a record of injuries, the accident book. Complys keeps your incident register and the evidence behind each report in one place; check whether an event is reportable with the free RIDDOR checker. Audit findings feed the same actions hub, see compliance audit software.

Incident reporting software, FAQs
What is incident reporting software?
Incident reporting software is a system for logging accidents, near misses and other safety events, recording what happened and what was done, and turning the findings into corrective actions that are tracked to closure, replacing a paper accident book and disconnected spreadsheets.
Can it capture near misses as well as accidents?
Yes. Complys records the full range, falls, injuries, near misses, equipment failures and, for care, safeguarding and other notifiable events, in one register.
What happens after an incident is logged?
You can raise corrective actions from it, assigned to a person, with a due date, and those actions are tracked from open to done alongside actions from audits and evidence gaps, so nothing gets forgotten.
Does it record who reported it and when?
Yes. Each incident records who reported it, when it occurred, the people involved and the immediate action taken, giving you a clear, timestamped audit trail.
Is it suitable for construction and for care?
Yes. Construction teams log accidents and near misses on site; care providers use the same register for incidents and safeguarding events, with a flag for CQC-notifiable events.
Does it connect to corrective actions?
Yes, incidents feed the same actions hub as audits and mock inspections, so a finding becomes an owned, dated task through to closure.
