Workplace Injury Leave Record Redaction with anonym.plus

HR Solution · Benefits & Leave · Equality Act 2010 s.60 (health questions)

Workplace injury leave record redaction is the removal of medical data from a time-off file for harm sustained at work. Equality Act 2010 s.60 restricts health questions and treats the answers as sensitive, so they belong apart from the personnel folder. anonym.plus marks each item on your device, so the file stays useful while private data goes.

When this applies

Such a file cites the harm, an assessment date, and an occupational health contact. You trim that data under s.60 before a reviewer who needs only status sees it.

How anonym.plus handles it

1. Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
2. Local OCR reads scanned incident reports in it.
3. The tool flags the harm detail, names, and contacts.
4. Keep the restriction and status lines a reviewer needs.
5. Swap or black out the confirmed items.
6. Save the clean copy locally and store it apart.

What you need to provide

• The absence file (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
• An operator (Replace keeps the status readable).
• Optional alias map across linked case files.

PII entity types detected

Compliance achieved

• Backs the restriction on health questions under Equality Act 2010 s.60.
• Lets a reviewer see status without the harm detail behind it.
• Treats the detail as special category data under UK GDPR Art. 9.

Limitations & cautions

Good practice still keeps this file apart from personnel data; redaction does not replace that step. RIDDOR reporting of the incident is a separate duty. The tool flags named items, not every unique clue in a free-text harm description.
