Your responsibilities after an incident

When an incident has occurred in your workplace, you must:

• provide first aid and make sure the worker gets the right care
• record the incident in the register of injuries
• help the worker recover at work by offering suitable employment, staying connected with the worker, and planning a return to work program with your worker, their doctor, and your insurer.

Workplaces that prioritise safety will treat a notifiable incident as a trigger for immediate safety improvements. It is your responsibility to keep your workers and your workplace safe.

• Keep notes on your review of the incident, health and safety controls, consultations and actions you take. We encourage you to use the record of action taken template (PDF, 86.96 KB).
• Or there is the easy to do WHS action plan.
