Safety Incident Investigation Report Redaction with anonym.plus

HR Solution · Health, Safety & Employers' Liability · Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HSWA 1974) / RIDDOR 2013

Safety incident investigation report redaction is the removal of personal data from a root-cause write-up an employer prepares under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, often alongside a RIDDOR 2013 report. anonym.plus marks each name and detail on your device, so the lessons stay clear while people are shielded.

When this applies

A root-cause write-up names the affected worker, witnesses, and supervisors. You trim those identifiers before the findings go to the wider crew for learning.

How anonym.plus handles it

1. Open the write-up in anonym.plus on your device.
2. Local OCR reads scanned interview notes.
3. The tool flags workers, witnesses, and supervisors.
4. Keep the cause findings and corrective actions.
5. Swap or black out the confirmed items.
6. Save the clean version locally.

What you need to provide

• The root-cause write-up (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
• An operator (Replace keeps the findings readable).
• Optional alias map to track repeat roles.

Limitations & cautions
