RAILWAYS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1934 - SECT 3

Amendment as to duty of railway company to report certain accidents.

3.(1) Section six of the Regulation of Railways Act, 1871 (which imposes upon
a railway company the duty of notifying to the Ministry certain accidents) as
extended by sub-section (2) of section thirteen of the
Railway Employment (Prevention of Accidents) Act, 1900, shall have effect
subject to the following modifications:

(i)An accident which is attended with personal injury to a person or persons
in the employment of the railway company, but which does not disable any such
person for more than three days from earning full wages at the work at which
he was employed, need not be notified to the Ministry if, but for the fact
that it was attended with personal injury, notification would not have been
required by the said section six as so extended; but if, and so soon as, it is
known that any person injured has been so disabled for more than three days,
the company shall notify the accident by the earliest practicable post;

(ii)An accident which occurs to a person not in the employment of the
railway company, and which is not connected with the movement of any engine or
railway vehicle, need not be notified to the Ministry by the earliest
practicable post, but all such accidents as are referred to in this paragraph
shall be notified to the Ministry in such manner and at such times as may be
required by directions given by it under the said section six.

(2) Nothing in the Notice of Accidents Acts, 1894 and 1906, shall be construed
as requiring notice to be given of any accident if, but for the provisions of
this section, notification of that accident would have been required by
section six of the Regulation of Railways Act, 1871, as so extended as
aforesaid.
