When is the deadline for riddor notification of death following a previously reportable injury?
The catalogue records a 12 months period from Death of the employee, where death occurs within one year of the date of the accident. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 12 months
- Trigger
- Death of the employee, where death occurs within one year of the date of the accident
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- None. There is no extension power, and the one-year limit on the underlying duty is a hard boundary: a death occurring more than one year after the accident does not trigger this notification duty.
- Two distinct periods. The one year is a LONGSTOP on the scope of the duty, measured from the date of the accident. The notification itself is 'without delay' once death occurs. Note the closing words: the duty applies 'whether or not the injury has been reported under regulation 4', so a failure to report the original injury does not extinguish the duty to notify the death.
