Some confusion (maybe cause its Friday!) over para 55 of RIDDOR ACOP, viz:
"Regulation 3(2)only applies to injuries resulting from accidents to people who are at work and to injuries which are not reportable
regulation 3(1).
What in simple terms does the second part of this sentance mean?
Thanks.
Thomas

Sorry I meant to add that the confusion to the sentence is whether you need an accident?

I read it as meaning that if you've already submitted a report because reg 3(1) required you to, you don't have to do it again because reg 3(2) requires you to.
As the regs are written, say someone at work breaks their leg: It has to be reported under section 3(1) as a major injury. If they're then unfit for normal duty for three days, section 3(2) requires it to be reported again. The bit of explanation in the ACOP clarifies that you don't have to do this.

Oops, simultaneous posting! Sorry about that. 3(2) in the regs says "...an injury resulting from an accident...", so yes, you do need an accident.

I concur with Paul, either a death (under 3(1)) or an injury arising out of or in connection with work which leaves the person unfit for his "normal" work for three consecutive days.
There must be an accident.
