Dear All, Trying to clarify a standard definition as per HSE or any other authority on the definition of lost workday case. Is it the loss of one day excluding the day of the injury or losing the next day of the work after the injury.
For ex: My normal shift starts at 7 AM to 5 PM. I get injured at 2 PM today and I don't return to work tomorrow but resume work day after tomorrow? or I get injured at 2 PM today and don't return to work DAY-AFTER tomorrow? Which is the lost workday case in the above two? I hope I didn't confuse you with the way I presented my question. Regards, PN

For HSE RIDDOR reporting, the lost day count starts from the day after the accident date.

So next day, if I report before 24 hours from the date of injury, will it be a lost time as my shift starts at 7 AM, but I report at 1 PM.

The definition of lost time/days will differ between companies - it is up to you and your company how you record lost time as a result of a work related injury.
In your example, you could record total hours lost, or full days lost following the day of the accident.

Thanks Dazzling Puddock for spotting the latest (Gavin) rank offering, which smells similar to their previous unwelcome adverts. Prads - see from your profile that you are based in Oman do RIDDOR would not apply, at least directly. You could be on a project where things are done to reflect requirements in the US (OSHA), Great Britain (RIDDOR), Europe, elsewhere, or some mix of standards. The Global Reporting Index document GRI 403 (I think) sets criteria for the recording of incidents largely based on OSHA standards, which include the concept of Days Away from Work ('DAW') as defined by OSHA. RIDDOR works rather differently such that whether an accident happens at say 0900 or 1700 is largely immaterial as all counting starts on the DAY rather than HOUR after the accident (except as to WHEN some incidents have to be reported). The GRI document is a free download from the internet.
