This diagnostic does not determine legal liability or RIDDOR reportability, certify an investigation or replace competent investigation.

About this diagnostic
Select a broad incident type, investigation stage and potential severity, then answer 18 core questions. Up to five relevant, unscored follow-ups help refine your recommendations. This is IntelliSafely’s management diagnostic, not a regulatory assessment or incident-report form.
If you need to determine whether an incident is reportable under RIDDOR, use current HSE guidance or seek competent advice.
Answer based on how investigations are normally conducted in practice, not how the procedure says they should be conducted.
This follow-up helps tailor your recommendations. It does not affect your maturity score.
All 18 core answers are needed. You can go back to change an answer before or after viewing your results.
