Is a road traffic incident RIDDOR reportable?
Employee is injured has 3 days off etc.
My MD swears it isnt (he keeps going on about train incidents only).
Im 99% sure that any such incident would be reportable but have not got time to check before a meeting this afternoon.
Hopefully you guys can give me the answer and I can give my MD the good news that I am correct on my way out of the building after leaving this meeting and logging off for the week!

RTA'S are not RIDDOR as they are investigated by Police under road traffic act etc.

Crim is bang on, RTAs excluded from RIDDOR. Only accidents to people working on or next to roads (such as maintenance workers and so on) are reportable, or accidents on private roads in workplaces,

Reg 10 of riddor gives detailed guidance on when an RTA should be reported. In a nutshell, if its due to or near any construction activity or as a result of an incident where CHIP may apply
The Road Traffic Act only applies to public roads so if an RTA happens on a road near (or something to do with) construction or a road not yet adopted by the LA, then HSE become the investigating body and the accident should be reportable if the other criteria are met, i.e. over 3 day, hospitalisation etc.

I agree with the above postings - by the way they are now "RTC's" since they reckon they are collisions, not accidents
