Royal Mail Group – Reporting Third Party, Non-Royal Mail Employee, Accidents At Work – Including Agency Workers, Casual Workers, Contractors and Suppliers etc

Dear Colleagues,

A number of enquiries have been received by the Health, Safety and Environment Department regarding the recording and reporting of accidents at work involving Agency Workers, Casual Workers, Contractors and Suppliers whilst working for Royal Mail or working on Royal Mail’s premises.

This is to clarify the position. Please find attached a copy of Royal Mail Group (RMG) Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) Standard 16.1. On page 2 the Standard goes into detail on the requirement for managers in Royal Mail Group (RMG) to report third party accidents (including agency workers, casual workers, contract workers and suppliers’ employees). See extract attached.

It is the RMG business standard to report all accidents through ERICA. There is a separate section within ERICA for this purpose. See ‘Screen Shot’ reproduced and attached.

Any non-reporting of agency workers’ accidents by managers should be processed via the accident escalation procedure if local resolution is not successful.



Yours sincerely

Dave Joyce

National Health, Safety & Environment Officer

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."

I had an accident at work one Saturday pm. The yellow vase flap of a York crashed down onto the toes of my right foot..

I limped through the rest of the shift in agony.

No-one was interested. I reported it to the Saturday Shift Manager when we both arrived at work again on the following Monday.

He declined to put it in the Accident Book because:
1. He didn’t see it happen
2. It could have happened anywhere and not at work
3. I work for Angard (implication being that I don’t matter to them)

13 months on and my foot is still not fully ‘right’.
