Incident notification

Last updated: 29 January 2025

Businesses and undertakings must notify the regulator of certain incidents that arise out of the conduct of a business or undertaking at a workplace.

The Incident notification: Interpretive guideline 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.
