Answer: (B)

RIDDOR tests your knowledge of what the acronym stands for in UK health and safety law. It stands for Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations. This set of regulations requires employers and others to report certain serious incidents to the Health and Safety Executive or the local authority. The wording shows exactly what must be reported: injuries, occupational diseases, and dangerous occurrences that arise from work. The other options don’t fit because they don’t reflect the real title of the regulations.
