Posted By Joanne Crockett Its only reportable if its an over-3-day injury which results in the injured person being away from work OR unable to do their full range of their normal duties for more than three days - even if these days are not normally working days ie weekends or for part-timers. To clarify: Day 1 is the incident date as the accident would have occured during the working day and the injured person would not have been able to return to their normal duties. They would need to be unable to carry out their full range of their normal duties on day 2, 3 and 4 for it to be reportable regardless if these days were their normal working days or not. So if the person returns on day 4 or would have been fit for work on day 4 its not reportable. Please advise if this is right before I quote it to my Director! Thanks in advance. Joanne

Posted By Steve B Joanne, everthing is ok except you do not count the day of the accident. Regards Steve

Posted By AlB You are right in what you have written, but an easier way to look at it is: Day of Accident is DAY 0 Next calendar day is DAY 1 Following calendar day is DAY 2 Following celendar day is DAY 3 Following calendar day is DAY 4 - if person not back at normal duties this day then it is reportable as a 3-day incident.

Posted By peter gotch Joanne, The example I use in e.g. training goes as follows: Accident on Thursday. off or disabled from normal work Friday - day 1 Saturday - day 2 Sunday - day 3 Monday - day 4 - reportable. Regards, Peter

Posted By Paul Norton I would suggest no. You cannot simply count the day when IP is not at work at the weekend when he wasn't expected there anyway, you have to determine exactly when he/she stopped being incapacitated from working. If that day was the Saturday or Sunday, it would not be reportable to the enforcer.
