Can I have your advice please?

On checking through previous years statistics I have come across an incident where there was a substantial delay in 1) notifying the accident to H & S and 2) seeing his doctor for a sick line.


Accident (twisted ankle) occured day 1
reported to H & S day 5
at work, no complaints
sick note presented day 14

then signed off for 5 weeks
resigned from company after 5th week.


Should this have been an over 3 day lost time notification?

Did the accident happen at work and was the injured party out of work for more than 3 consecutive working days as a result?

Advice would be to make H&S policy on same day reporting of accidents very clear to all employees.

Doesn't seem like there's a lot you can do if it has happened over a year ago.
