Sorry to bring up this rather boring topic again!
We have lots of buildings, and staff often have to walk / drive between them on the public pavements and roads.
During the cold snap, employee (tradesman) walks from one job to another on a separate site, slips on the icy public pavement and is unfit to carry out his normal duties for over 3 days as a result.
Reportable under RIDDOR or not? The sticking point is that although he was "at work", was the accident "arising out of our in connection with" our undertaking? (or whatever the exact words are.) It's being said that it wasn't.
Opinions and experiences welcome.

The regulations specify "...an accidentarising out of or in connection with work ...." which the accident you have described is and, therefore, it is reportable.

Yes, I agree - reportable.
Had similar incident here last week.
RIDDOR report line should be snowed under (sorry!) by rights.
