A manager once told me it should be done on the same day as the incident. I tend to agree as you lose the benefit of the doubt reporting something 2 weeks later

Report it as soon as you can, there is no time limit though.

4. There is no restriction on the time within which an accident has to have occurred in order for an employee to make a record in the accident book.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
