Hi all, I'm after some advise, a year ago in February I fell at work on a wet roof and broke my elbow.
I was a sub contractor but should really have been employed as I've worked for the company for 5 years.
I was thinking of putting a claim in but the company have said I'll loose my job if I do and also they didn't report the incident to RIDDOR.
What options do I have?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Accident not reported
Hi Luca
Welcome to the forums
Sorry to hear about your incident and how it was managed.
If your company has not reported it to the HSE you can always phone the HSE & let them know about the incident and that they have not reported it and you can do this anonymously.
As for making a claim, you can do this as well and if they do terminate your employment there is also another claim/tribunal that you would be able to take that case to.
Are you a member of a union? They maybe able to assist you.
If not I would go and pay a visit to Citizens advice to get the best advice as how to move forward on this.

It is better to be careful 100 times than to get killed once.
