Posted By Alan Barthrope Rob, Regulation 3 of RIDDOR states that the "Responsible Person" shall report the dangerous occurrence/injury. Table 1 (Page 11 & 12) of RIDDOR states who this responsible person is. Regards Alan B

Posted By Lynne Ratcliffe Whoever in control where accident happened notifies B and suggests B reports. A checks or reports for B or reports anyway to cover back.

Posted By Frank Hallett Just to round it off for the pedants - the number of employees is not relevant. Frank Hallett

Posted By Red Ones B Number of employees IS important, but only if B is self-employed, in which case the answer is A. I always cover this area when at pre-start meeting when contracting B. If B is working at A's premises the question needs to be asked about who is responsible for managing the site. (Site management responsibility could change if the work B is doing is subject to CDM regs, if B is the principal contractor cited on the F10) Be warned it is not unusual for B to sub-contract to C!

Posted By James M agree with above. The employer has a duty to report the accident.

Posted By Robert K Lewis I see this has wandered into the trustworthiness of information supplied. If the report is done by telephone, which is increasingly common, only the person making the report can access a copy at a later date. In strict terms (a) has no power to require a copy of the F2508 from (b) other than through contract clauses and these can be notoriously difficult to enforce at times. The requirements of DPA may also mean that an employee's consent may be required for disclosure and the employee may be elsewhere in the country with a.n.other employer. Thus whilst there is no duty the "major" or controling organisation might find it advatageous to undertake the reporting provided that they can access the relevant information. Bob
