Notifiable Incidents
Posted
To assist workers understand when an incident is a ‘notifiable incident’, WorkSafe ACT has prepared educational posters for workplaces which are accessible online here.
Members are reminded to follow WorkSafe ACT procedures as follows:
If a serious event or dangerous incident (notifiable incident) occurs, a PCBU or whoever is in control must notify WorkSafe ACT by calling them on:
- Business hours: 13 22 81
- After hours: 0419 120 028
After you have spoken with WorkSafe, you then need to complete a Notification of incident form and email it to them at worksafe@worksafe.act.gov.au.
WorkSafe ACT must be notified immediately after you become aware of the incident. If the notifiable incident is a result of more than one business or undertaking, then all business must notify WorkSafe ACT. In these circumstances the duty holders must consult and coordinate to put appropriate reporting and notification arrangements in place.
Within 48 hours of the initial phone call, email or fax, you must notify WorkSafe ACT in writing by completing the Notification of Incident form.
