I posted on here a few months ago on a query on RIDDOR reportingand sicce then my company has had two non work related incidents resulting on the guys having to take more than 7 days off work, so in the last 3 months that has been 3 incidents that employees have taken more that 7 days off. just to explaine: 1. IP was going to his place of work when a ladder he was on failed resulting in the IP falling and damaging his rotar cuff and tendons resulting in us taking him off the rig (as the client wanted to keep him on on light duties) and him being signed off work. 2. On another rig. The IP was coming out of the shower and slipped falling against a wall and breaking his shoulder. Taken off the rig and signed off work. 3. IP was removing his coveralls and he is not sure what happened but he snapped the ligaments in a finger. Taken off the rig and signed off for almost 1 month.
My company has reported all 3 as RIDDOR injuries but none of the incidents have been recorded to this level by the client. 1. has been reported ar a RWC. 2. has not been recorded at all. 3. has been reported as a MTC.
Am I wrong in reporting these as RIDDOR incidents.

The first one is reportable because the ladder failed and light duties are not normal duites (they may have an LTI metric they are chasing). The other two I don't think were reportable.
From the HSE site RIDDOR only requires you to report accidents if they happen ‘out of or in connection with work’. The fact that there is an accident at work premises does not, in itself, mean that the accident is work-related – the work activity itself must contribute to the accident. An accident is ‘work-related’ if any of the following played a significant role: - the way the work was carried out
- any machinery, plant, substances or equipment used for the work or
- the condition of the site or premises where the accident happened

On the face of it I agree with Fairleig, though the slip out of the shower might be reportable if the slip was caused by some defect or fault in the floor or lighting around the shower stall. Arising out of work does incluide defects in the structure or maintenance of the workplace,
