                                              Reporting & Investigation                              25/07/2017


                     7)    Over Seven Day Accident

                           " Any accident where an injured person is incapacitated for normal duties for more
                           than three consecutive days following the day of the accident".

                           A more detailed definition follows:-

                           "... the injured person is incapacitated for work for more than seven consecutive days, not
                           counting the day of the accident but including any days which would not have been working
                           days.  The expression 'more than seven consecutive days' means, in practice, at least eight
                           days.  For example, if a person who normally works Monday to Friday is injured on Friday
                           and returns to work the following Monday, both Saturdays and Sundays would have to be
                           included when counting the days of incapacity.  The total period of incapacity would be nine
                           days and the injury must be reported."

                           The Regulation is not confined to cases of incapacity that keep injured people away from
                           work. For example, if an injured employee turns up for work immediately following an
                           accident and is, for more than seven days, put on light duties that are not part of their normal
                           work, then the injury must be reported.

                     8)    Specified Injuries

                           As defined in RIDDOR 2013.

                     9)    Dangerous Occurrences

                           As defined in RIDDOR 2013.

                     10)   Fatalities

                           The death of any person, whether or not they are at work, if it results from an accident arising
                           out of or in connection with work.

                           Where an employee dies as a result of suffering an accident at work within one year of the
                           injury occurring, whether or not the accident had been reported previously.

                     11)   Diseases

                     As defined in RIDDOR 2013
