Hi all
I am after some clarification on the above issue.
The accident resulted in an over 7 day injury and so is reportable, can someone clarify if the UK client still reports in the normal way although the accident happened in Australia please?
Thanks in advance

HSE have no jurisdiction over (or practical interest in) accidents that happen outside UK - other than some categories that link to major hazards legislation. So absolutely no point in reporting it to them.
However Australian legislation is similar and so someone responsible for the workplace there should have reported it to the relevant State or Commonwealth regulator.
Obviously it should be reported and suitably investigated internally, and included in your internal statistics.
