hi all
if there is an accident involving a 3rd party contractor (permenantly based on site) do you record it within your accident records? Just been notifed of an accident over a month ago that was RIDDOR classification at our premises relatign to one of their employees. They have an area of site where they are based and control and their own employees work there however it is our building and our premises. I have requested their accident report and copy of RIDDOR report but i'm not sure if this would be an accident related to our company or theirs. (e.g. potential liabilities on claim, etc)
Anyone have experience in this matter?

Had the same type of set up in the past at a manufacturing facility.
I recorded (a copy of) their accidents but did not include it in our figures reported at safety committee's etc as even if RIDDOR the lost time was not in fact our lost time but theirs.
On liability, the devil will be in the detail on root cause - ie, slipped on defected x that was under your obligation to maintain / hit hand with hammer whilst whacking something.
Depends on the detail of the claim and who the solicitor wants to/ deems responsible to lay the claim at the door of.
May be that blame is apportioned/divided.
Worth keeping copies and looking at root causes and corrective actions if nothing more than to learn from them.
claims defence comes second to putting in control measures to try to prevent a re-occurrence.
