From September 1, 2003, WorkCover NSW is simplifying the way incidents are notified.
Whether you are an employer and/or an occupier you are required by law to report work-related incidents to WorkCover and/or your workers compensation insurer.

You will need to notify serious incidents to WorkCover immediately, as an urgent investigation may need to be undertaken.

• An incident where there has been a fatality,
• An incident where there has been a serious injury or illness such as when a person :
  -  is placed on life support
  -  loses consciousness
  -  is trapped in machinery or a confined space
  -  has serious burns
• An incident where there is an immediate threat to life such as major damage to machinery or buildings.
  (These are some examples of serious incidents)
  Up to 36 hours after the serious incident has been reported, the immediate area around the incident must not be disturbed, except to assist any injured persons and to avoid injuries and problems.
