Reporting of Injuries,
Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations states
that there are two kinds of injuries that should be
reported to the authorities
major
injuries to members of the public that take
place in a hospital. Section 3(d) says
that if
"any
person not at work suffers a major injury
as a result of an accident arising out of
or in connection with work at a hospital"
it
is reportable. The definition of what type of
injury is a major injury is set out in

any
injury where the person is taken to a
hospital for treatment. Section 3(c) states
that if:
"any
person not at work suffers an injury as a
result of an accident arising out of or in
connection with work and that person is taken
from the site of the accident to a hospital
for treatment in respect of that injury"
it
is reportable. This excludes most work-related
road-traffic deaths, with a number of exceptions.
