Do you?  I don't think people are confused.

I think they're debating

Everything depends on the lease agreement. If the maintenance of the path is indeed the Landlords responsibility (including gritting), then your employee is a member of the public to him and so unless she went straight to hospital (which she didn’t) it is not reportable.

If gritting the paths is either not noted (so landlord has not specifically taken responsibility) or definitely your responsibility and this person was walking between the two building for a work required activity (ie not at lunch or break). Then it is associated with their work and so reportable by your company. IMHO having to move from one building you control to another you control on a path you control because they, let’s say have to take a message to someone or go and liaise with someone, is work, otherwise why wold they be doing it. If the company requires them to do whatever it is, then it is work.

So up to you which fits best to your circumstance.
