Accident & Incident Support

Protecting your business when it matters most

Accidents happen in busy operations. What matters is what happens next. Mercury handles the incident from first report to closed case, with the evidence trail to protect your business.

Why it matters

A poorly handled incident costs your business

Claims arrive months later. Memories fade, staff move on, and paperwork goes missing. When that happens, the business with the strongest record wins.

Civil claims

Personal injury claims can arrive up to three years after the event. Without solid evidence, defending them is guesswork.

RIDDOR & enforcement

Reportable incidents handled late or wrongly invite enforcement action and fines.

Reputation

A mishandled incident travels fast, with reviews, local press and social media all in play.

HOW IT WORKS

What happens when there's an incident

From the moment it happens to the moment the case closes, here’s the process.

The platform captures everything, and our team steps in where judgement is needed.

19:42

Log it in minutes Platform

Your team logs the incident from any device, right there on the floor. Guided fields make sure nothing important gets missed, even mid-service.

19:50

Attach the evidence Platform

Photos, witness statements and CCTV footage up to 10GB, all attached to the case while it's fresh. Time-stamped and tamper-evident.

20:15

An expert steps in Our Team

A Mercury advisor reviews the case, guides the investigation, and assesses whether it's RIDDOR reportable. If it's serious, they're on the phone with you that evening.

Common questions

Asked by operators like you

Straight answers on the things that come up most.

Anything else, give us a ring and ask.

What counts as RIDDOR reportable?

Certain workplace injuries, occupational diseases and dangerous occurrences must be reported to the HSE by law. The rules have detail to them, which is exactly why our advisors assess each case with you rather than leaving your team to judge it alone.

What if an incident happens at 11pm on a Saturday?

Call us. Our support line runs 24/7 and serious incidents get immediate guidance, including what to preserve, who to inform and what to document that night.

Can we upload CCTV footage as evidence?

Yes, up to 10GB per case. Footage, photos and witness statements all attach directly to the incident record, time-stamped and stored securely.

How long should we keep incident records?

Personal injury claims can arrive up to three years after an incident, and longer in some circumstances. The platform keeps your full case history searchable for as long as you need it.

We already have an accident book. Why change?

Paper records get lost, damaged and disputed. A digital case file with time-stamps, photos, footage and a full audit trail is far stronger evidence if a claim ever lands, and far easier to manage day to day.
