Answer to Question 2:

Dear Derek

The HSA must be notified of all:

1. Fatal work related accidents
2. Accidents causing injury that result in the person carrying out work being absent from work, or being unable to carry out his/her duties (Weekends and other normal days off e.g. holidays are included when calculating the periods of absence)
3. Accidents caused by work or a work activity which results in a person who is not at work e.g. a member of the public, suffering a fatal injury or an injury that requires hospital treatment  or the attention of a doctor.

Accidents must be reported by employers on the statutory form IR1 available on the HSA website
