Hi All

Quick question. In general and for your organisations internal lost day figures do organisations generally only record days lost to the business or rolling days lost when recording post accident days lost?

I'm fully comfortable with requirements of RIDDOR and the day lost triggers for reporting to HSE but have some issues with recording of days lost

thanks

Hi safetyman, It depends on the reason for collating the data.

If a business is measuring the cost to them (ie lost productive time) then only working days matter. If they want to measure the severity of injury, illness etc then real days incapacity would be more relevant (as RIDDOR).

Internally, for non-RIDDOR, I only count working days lost in my figures. Once/if the figure becomes RIDDOR then I allocate a different 'cost' altogether.

(basically I have a lost-time, non-reportable figure I use and a Lost-time, Reportable figure).
