- Total major injuries sustained by operational (wholetime and retained duty system) firefighters reportable under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR).
A wholetime firefighter is a member of staff whose main employment is a firefighter regardless of their role.
Retained duty firefighters are personnel contracted to be available for agreed periods of time for fire-fighting purposes, but who could have an alternative full-time employment.
Reportable major injuries are: fracture other than to fingers, thumbs or toes; amputation; dislocation of the shoulder, hip, knee or spine; loss of sight (temporary or permanent); chemical or hot metal burn to the eye or any penetrating injury to the eye; injury resulting from an electric shock or electrical burn leading to unconsciousness or requiring resuscitation or admittance to hospital for more than 24 hours; any other injury: leading to hypothermia, heat-induced illness or unconsciousness; or requiring resuscitation; or requiring admittance to hospital for more than 24 hours; unconsciousness caused by asphyxia or exposure to harmful substance or biological agent; acute illness requiring medical treatment, or loss of consciousness arising from absorption of any substance by inhalation, ingestion or through the skin; acute illness requiring medical treatment where there is reason to believe that this resulted from exposure to a biological agent or its toxins or infected material.
