Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A busy garden centre in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, needed to standardise its incident reporting process, which previously relied on loose, often misplaced, notes. They switched to the HMSO 1G0005 Accident Book to create a single, reliable point of truth.
"Having a proper book has made a huge difference. Staff know exactly where to find it and how to fill it in. It looks professional and, more importantly, gives us confidence that we're meeting our legal duties correctly."
Robert Davies – Operations Manager
This simple change has ensured 100% compliance with reporting procedures during their internal health and safety audits.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Designate a single, accessible location for the book known to all staff members (e.g., the manager's office or next to the first aid kit).
- Brief your team leaders or appointed first aiders on the book's location and the correct procedure for filling it out.
- Use a pen with permanent ink to ensure all records are clear, legible, and cannot be altered easily.
- Fill in your company details on the inside cover as soon as you receive the book.
Keeping It Going
- Keep the book in a clean, dry place to avoid water damage or spills, especially in kitchen or bar environments.
- When an incident form is completed, ensure the tear-out slip is removed promptly and filed in a secure, lockable cabinet.
- Periodically check how many pages are left, so you can order a new accident log book A4 well before the current one is full.
- Review your filed reports regularly as part of your health and safety management to identify any recurring issues or risks.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: It includes guidance and features perforated, tear-out pages, allowing you to remove and securely store the personal details of the injured person, keeping them confidential.

Explore more from Reliance MedicalHow Tear-Out Pages Keep You GDPR Compliant
Ever wondered why the pages in a modern workplace incident record book are perforated? It's a clever design feature that's all about data privacy. When an accident is recorded, the form contains sensitive personal information about the injured person. The tear-out design allows you to remove this individual report and file it securely and confidentially, separate from the main book.
Think of it like the counterfoil on a cheque. The main book remains in its accessible place as a general log of when incidents occurred, but the private details are detached and stored away, accessible only to authorised personnel. This simple physical separation is a key step in complying with GDPR and the Data Protection Act, preventing casual access to confidential data and showing you take your employees' privacy seriously.
