RVThompson is correct. As a side point the fractured arm would have been reportable had it been work related - whether it was 7 days+ or not. From the HSE RIDDOR page "Specified injuries to workers The list of ‘specified injuries’ in RIDDOR 2013 replaces the previous list of ‘major injuries’ in RIDDOR 1995. Specified injuries are (regulation 4): - fractures, other than to fingers, thumbs and toes

Did they fall due to the condition of the workplace or did they just trip over their own feet ? If it was due to the condition of the workplace it could be reportable! Chris

He got a bit dehydrated and went outside for some air and tripped over a kerb - he says it was his own fault.
