Do I have the right to see my files from a company on health and safety accident book?

I wish to try and look at my accident report after four years can I do that
Answers:
If they're files about you, you have the right to see them!
not sure but put any such request in writing (its for the best)
you must have had a lot of accidents??

an accident book is not releated to one specific person, the book gets completed by anyone who has and accident at your work, then the complated reports go in to a general secure folder ( data protection means restricted access) they dont go on your personal record.

im sure if you had a valid reason to view it your employers should let you.
Ask your management do not be afraid...
Yes, everyone has a right to see their own records, do not get put off by the company saying that you cannot, this is the law and there is nothing they can do about it. They have to provide this information by law, if they say they no longer have this then you can take them to court.
