Aren't you the person who posted a thread about a dogbite?
If so I think you'll be better off linking this to the original thread, that way all the info on the posts will be together and not in separate threads. :Very Happy

Apart from filling out the ERICA form at work and all the usual stuff, did this get reported to the Police? If not it needs to be reported asap.
Also did you get signed off from work by your Doctor? Contact your Union Rep and speak to them as well about the situation. Don't let them force you into work if you are unable to move around OK, as getting bitten in the groin doesn't sound nice at all, let alone it being somewhat uncomfortable to say the least. I assume that you don't need a tetanus booster shot then seeing you had a shot in 2008?
Personally if this was me I wouldn't go into work for now.

they want you in as your area has a high accident rate and dont want to trigger a riddor, dont go in unless your are fit to do so, i would recommend going to see doc and getting his opinion and a fit line if appropriate

The thing you need to watch here is going back on light duties before your ready. If you go back only to go sick a second time it will count as two absence's.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Reminds me of when i had my dramas with management re my knee.
Went to doc in the morning got a fit note because i knew i wouldnt be able to walk.

Idiot lino told me to start pushing the yorkies.
Told him straight i was on lights and that i had to go to the doc again as my knee wasnt up to that.

Got signed off for 2 months.

They just try it on and if you do it they have you by the short n curlies

@zx135, they're not even bothered about a RIDDOR, what they are trying to hide is a Lost Time Accident. They will lie about day one, which has now passed, and state that the IP attended for either a capability discussion, a reconstruction or form completion. LTA's are collated and go against an office and consequently the Area/Sector/Division.

Actually I am in same area as the person who posted the comment, West of Scotland area seriously trying to avoid Riddors at the moment not LTA, the number of RIDDORS is under scrutiny at the moment
