Hi all
Curently working in Sweden on construction project - Client in SE have equivelent RIDDOR reporting structure as uk just under different name but in essence exacty the same. Our main contractor(s) UK based - so therefore my undertsanding would be that should a RIDDOR in relation to dangerous occurence or exposure be triggered during works in SE then both SE and UK reporting would apply. My intention is cooperate with our SE Client and inform of the UK requirements, if I am correct should a trigger to report happen then both need to be planned in coordination ? For your information my view is straighforward I.E UK contractor must follow UK instruction regardless of geographic location. Thoughts

It is an old adage "when in Rome..." why do you presume we need two reports for the same incident circulating through Europe?
The construction site will not fall under UK CDM which would be the tenuous link to invoking UK RIDDOR

UK H&S law does not apply to activities outside the UK. If you look at at the text of a UK law, it will tell you exactly where it does apply (e.g. UK, England & Wales, UK + its offshore oilfields, etc). Instead the law of the host country applies.
When you make a RIDDOR report, you have to select in the online form which local authority area the event occurred in. Overseas local authorities are not in this list so it is in practice impossible to make a RIDDOR report about an event overseas.
This is because HSE can only enforce in the UK, and are only compiling statistics about the UK. Events elsewhere in the world are outside their remit.
