Morning
Have a query around RIDDOR if someone can shed light.
If someone is injured at work toward end of their night shift (2am), they then don't return for their next shift at 6pm (on same date they were injured - 12hour shifts). Does the RIDDOR offically BEGIN once they fail to turn up for next shift, although on same date of injury, or when clocks turn mignight and new date?
Thanks

HSE web-site
Over-seven-day incapacitation of a worker
Accidents must be reported where they result in an employee or self-employed person being away from work, or unable to perform their normal work duties, for more than seven consecutive days as the result of their injury. This seven day period does not include the day of the accident, but does include weekends and rest days. The report must be made within 15 days of the accident.
HSE seem to deal in calendar days not missed shifts

With shifts the "day of the accident" is the shift on which it occurred For "next working day" read next scheduled working period So even if they finish at 06:00 Hrs and are due back in 18:00 Hrs the same chronological day it is a different shift day according to rota (consider each shift based on the day it starts - Monday night shift is followed by Tuesday night shift)

HSE have always accepted that the word "day" should be interpreted as "shift" in these situations. So I would take the date of absence from his official shift date.

Hi, is there any evidence where HSE accept this situation i.e. where they have stated this on record, ACOP etc?
Thanks
