What to do if you get injured at work

Of course it is hoped that no members are injured at work. However the reality is that members do get injured at work.

If you are injured at work you must notify your employer of the injury as soon as practicable. This can be done in writing by filling out an accident/incident report form or it can be done verbally with the documentation to follow.

The person you should notify in the first instant is usually your immediate supervisor.

You should report all incidents/accidents even if there was no injury so as the employer can be aware of a possible injury or that you may have an injury that you don't know about at the time. It does not matter how small the injury is (eg stubbing your big toe or sticking your finger with a needle) you should report it. These types of incidents may lead to complications in the future.

All worksites should have available accident/incident report forms which are accessible by all members.
