I think this is likely a process problem. Having been a safety officer for a lab in the past, there are two types of injury reports. One for regular injuries, you have a week to report. Serious injuries need to be reported within 24 hours. These are death and amputation injuries (there might be more, it's been a few years).

Anyway I suspect they missed the deadline because it slipped through the cracks.

Whatever the cause is, the fine is so low that it's actually cheaper to simply not comply with the regulation.
