If a worker is incapacitated for more than 7 days as a result of a fire, on which form and within how many days should it be reported?

• A. F2508 within 15 days.
• B. F2507 within 15 days.
• C. F2508 within 10 days.
• D. RIDDOR report within 24 hours.

Answer: (C)

When a worker is unable to work for more than seven days due to a work-related incident, it is a reportable injury under RIDDOR. The correct way to notify is to use the F2508 form and submit it within 10 days of the incident. This 10-day window is the specific deadline for this type of injury notification. The other options don’t fit because this scenario isn’t about a 24-hour immediate report for dangerous occurrences, and the 15-day window isn’t the required deadline for this injury type; plus the other form mentioned is used in different circumstances.
