Many of us are aware of the reporting requirements of RIDDOR for over three day accidents. What I am trying to clarify is the Definitive legal position.
If an employer has ten days to report an accident that period, to my mind, should start from the time the emp/er becomes aware of the facts. Where an emp/ee remains at work for a number of days before the period of absence starts does it follow that the emp/er has ten days from the third day of absence?
Adrian, over to you lol.

In the case where an employee is absent from work, with the first date of absence not immediately following the incident, I include the date of the incident and the first date of absence in the F2508. If the timescales permit, I do try and report within the 10 day requirement but it is not always possible (not received any complaints from the HSE).
What happens if a reportable occurs whilst you are on holiday for a fortnight? Do you have someone else that completes the F2508 or does it wait until your return?
