Hi Guys,
This has probably been asked in the past but could not find any reference to it or gleam any insight from the Regs.
We have an employee off work for over 3 days, I reported it. He came back to work for a couple of weeks, off again for over 3 days. This has happened several times, all the times he's off it's for the same thing. My question is; is this 1 reportable or report each time he's off?
Before you all slate me and say I should be using the hierarchy of controls to solve the under lieing cause. He only gets the problem when he is given a job he does not like. You can draw your own conclusions from this.

Hi Graham
Shouldn't be RIDDOR more than once - he only had one accident/injury.
Sounds like a good case of performance & conduct to me. How about a visit to occi-health to ensure he is fit to work?

Hi Graham
Agree with Carol, only reportable once, and a case for a visit to the occu health professional, maybe also contact with their GP providing they give permission.
After that course of action, provided of course that has not raised any issues, or if it does they have been eliminated as much as possible, I would think it is then likely to fall in the category of disciplinary action and therefore a HR issue.

I think before we get authoritative on this question, we actually need more details.
Was the cause of absence an injury or a disease? (I think we are guessing injury)
Is he alleging recurrence of incapacity is due to the same incident (if injury)?
If it is an injury from a single incident, I agree with the first two posters that once reported, it is reported and needs no further reporting (the Regs do not specifically cover this, and one should read that as no requirement to repeatedly report the same incident).
