That's on top of 81,000 people living with ill-health suffered at work. As its name suggests, the RIDDOR Text Analysis Tool is based on the accident reports submitted to HSE under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 2013. It uses natural language processing and machine learning to perform semantic searching on accident and incident textual data.
