Posted By Andy Hemsworth If an employee is working away short term , in this case Australia, and slips in the shower in the hotel and breaks their wrist. Is this a RIDDOR reportable? Sorry if this has been answered similarly elsewhere but I couldn't find it.

Posted By A Campbell No... But keep a record of the accident anyway

Posted By Heather Collins From the introduction to the HSE RIDDOR guide now available online as a free download http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/l73.pdf "Where the Regulations apply The Regulations apply to Great Britain but not to Northern Ireland, where separate Regulations have been made. They also apply to certain work activities carried out in United Kingdom territorial waters adjacent to Great Britain and in the United Kingdom sector of the Continental Shelf (see regulation 12). These are the work activities specified by the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (Application outside Great Britain) Order 2001 (SI 2001/2127) (the 2001 Order) which include, for example, offshore installations, wells, pipelines and pipeline works, and related activities. The Regulations also apply to mines under the sea and certain other activities in territorial waters, such as the loading and unloading of ships, the construction and repair of ships, the construction and repair of buildings or other structures, and certain diving operations."
