The document that lists who is accountable under reporting legislation is called what?

When you’re looking at reporting legislation, the focus is on who must report and take responsibility for those reports. The people designated to meet these duties are called the responsible persons. A document that lists who has accountability under the reporting rules is therefore describing the responsible persons. This fits best because it names the roles or individuals charged with ensuring reporting obligations are met, rather than describing the act of reporting, the regulation itself, or the outcomes of incidents. The other terms describe actions (accident reporting), the regulation (RIDDOR), or the results of incidents (workplace deaths), none of which identify the people responsible.
