Incident Notification

Guidance
This guideline provides an overview on mandatory reporting requirements for incidents that must be notified to the regulator under Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation.
Last updated:

Businesses and undertakings must notify the regulator of certain incidents that arise out of the conduct of a business or undertaking at a workplace. This information will help you decide when and how to notify a work-related death, injury, illness or dangerous incident (further notification requirements apply to mines and petroleum and geothermal operations – see Parts 2 and 3 of the guideline). Notifying the regulator can help identify causes of incidents and prevent work-related deaths, injuries, illnesses, damage and loss at other workplaces.
