Hello there

One of my clients staff members has had a stroke at work and they are wondering what category that gets reported.

The person who had the stroke is in a coma at the moment and has not been able to speak to anyone.

Could someone please advise accordingly.

Agree.  Non-reportable.  Couldn't be clearer.

At my last job there was a long drive from the entrance which ambulances when called on site always used drive up. They would then park in front of the board room giving the directors a view of an “incident”. Typically someone would faint and bang their heads or have a seizure or trip over their own feet etc.  whenever the directors had convened a board meeting and the phone call would arrive: “Andrew please brief the directors on this  incident, and explain what you are going to do about it” .  Flashing lights attract the attention of directors rather like shiny pieces of sweet paper attract the attention of my cat. This is why we get hung up about whether an incident is reportable.
