Assuming they were taken to hospital for treatment as a result - then I would say YES.

I say yes too - RIDDOR applies to persons other than employees who are injured in the course of your undertakings and who are taken to hospital. So if you offer a servce to the public and a member of the public (non-employee) has an accident and is taken to hospital it is reportable regardless of the severity of the injury - it is the going to hospital bit that is important not the outcome.

Any injury to a person not at work, but on our premises, must be reported if the injury arises out of or in connection with our work or premises etc and results in them being taken to hospital.

Hi all, im new to the forum so apologies in advance for any breach of ettiquete by jumping in with another situation.
If its the sending someone to hospital (who isnt your employee) the reporting criteria, then what happens to a visitor such as a delivery driver who falls over within his own vehicle? Yes he wasnt an employee but he went to hospital. I didnt report this as a RIDDOR but passed all our accidnet info to his employer to report.
Was this right or have I missed the point somewhere?
Matt

You were correct. He was at work so the responsibility to report rests with his employer not you.
The situation outlined previoulsy applies where someone is not at work - i.e. a member of the public is involved and so there is no other employer to report.

Back to the original question, it depends on whether it arose 'out of or in connection with work'. Eg was it the result of a premises defect, poor working practices or poor supervision. If not: not reportable.

Not if they were a member of the public who was not at work no! (which is how I read the original post)
