Question
What are the procedures to be followed in the case of an accident at work, which is in breach of the OH&S regulations in an IT workplace environment? Omar
Answer
There are a number of ways to report workplace accidents.
Under the Workers Compensation Legisation an employer must notify their insurance company within 48 hours if a worker has sustained a significant injury and 7 days for all other injuries.
Under the OHS Regulation 2001 an employer must fill out a form ie an accident notification form and send it to WorkCover, if a worker has been off work for more than 7 days.This is under clause 341 of the OHS Regulation 2001.
The Regulation is available on our unionsafe website.
