Having a process in place for handling a workplace injury can provide peace of mind, ensuring things are managed as smoothly and safely as possible.
Get Medical Treatment Immediately
When an employee is injured on the job, it’s important they receive medical care quickly. For emergency situations, call emergency services (EMS – Ambulance). Less serious injuries may simply require first aid treatment, or with the medical doctor.
Always call your appointed first aid officer to assist.
Report the Injury ASAP
As soon as your employee is safe and being cared for, it’s time to report the injury. Follow the agreed internal procedure for reporting the incident internally. Notify the manager/supervisor responsible for the employee who was injured.
Not Reporting the Injury to Authorities
Not reporting an accident/incident is a criminal offence. The Commissioner may impose a penalty on the employer.
