Two days is not long for the mandatory reporting of a product-related death or injury - what if the incident occurs just before a long weekend?

The day on which the supplier becomes aware is not counted toward the two days. Additionally, if the due day falls on a weekend or public holiday, the deadline moves to the next day.

If a supplier becomes aware of a reportable incident on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday then the report is normally due by midnight on the next Monday. If that Monday is a public holiday, the report becomes due by midnight on the Tuesday.
