Good Morning All, One of our employees goes to college on day release to undergo training to fulfil part of his requirements for his job role. On his way back from college going to home he was involved in an accident, which resulted in him going to hospital with fractures in his foot and was subsequently operated on. He will be off work for a amount of time as of yet unknown. Would this still be classed as a reportable statistic for the company as he was going home? Additionally reportable for RIDDOR as well? I have checked the HSE website from link someone kindly put on a previous post about RIDDOR. The HSE states an accident on the road is not reportable as the police will do their part. I am still waiting on further information as this only came to light this morning. If anyone can point in the right direction for further reading/guidance on this matter I would appreciate it. This is not something we come across that often and I want to make sure that I report it correctly to all depts. I will also be doing some refresher studying on this as well. Thank you.

I don't think it would be a RIDDOR reportable as it is a road traffic accident, why would you include it for accident stats? I suppose ypu should keep a record for future use.

Out of curiosity was the injured employee in a vehicle or were they walking. I have to be honest what I was thinking about ( not necessarily your situation). But would it still be a RTC if the person injured was a pedestrian (say a post person) and was hit by a van? Taking out of the equation for a moment if your employee was or was not at work (ie the post person scenario). I'm aware of the issue of not reportable unless it is the load of the vehicle or loading / unloading etc, but not sure about the above. What do others think? Chris
