Incident reporting

How to report a workplace incident

Employers, the self-employed and those in control of premises should report workplace accidents or incidents to the Health and Safety Executive Northern Ireland on 0800 032 0121.

You must report immediately by phone any accident or incident connected with work which results in:

• a death or major injury to your employee or a self-employed person working on your premises
• a member of the public being taken to hospital from your premises
• or a dangerous event

You must follow this up within ten days of the incident with a NI2508 form.  You can use the online reporting forms available from the Health and Safety Executive NI website (link opens in new window).

Hard copy forms are also available to download. Once you have completed them you should send them to:

The Accident Clerk
HSENI
83 Ladas Drive
Belfast
BT6 9FR
