Paragraph 1 Injuries, fatalities and dangerous occurrences
United Kingdom
Where required to follow the reporting procedure by regulation 4, 5, 6 or 7 (except in relation to a mine or quarry), the responsible person must—
notify the relevant enforcing authority of the reportable incident by the quickest practicable means without delay; and
send a report of that incident in an approved manner to the relevant enforcing authority within 10 days of the incident F1or, in the case of an incident falling within sub-paragraph (3), within 10 working days of the incident.
Sub-paragraph (1)(a) does not apply to a self-employed person who is injured at premises owned or occupied by that self-employed person, and it is sufficient compliance with sub-paragraph (1)(b) for a self-employed person to make arrangements for the report to be sent to the relevant enforcing authority by some other person.
A reportable incident falls within this sub-paragraph if it relates to a dangerous occurrence of a class specified in—
paragraph 20 of Part 1 of Schedule 2 in relation to an offshore workplace; or
Part 6 of that Schedule.
For the purposes of—
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
sub-paragraph (3), “offshore workplace” has the meaning given in regulation 2(1), but as if the words in parenthesis in that definition had no effect.
