Incident Reporting

Under the Work Health and Safety (National Uniform Legislation) Act 2011, it is a requirement to notify NT WorkSafe if certain incidents occur at the workplace.

These notifiable incidents include:

a death of a person; or
a serious injury or illness of the person; or
a dangerous incident.

The Bulletin Work Health and Safety Incident Notification provides further detail into what is considered a serious injury or illness and what is considered a dangerous incident under the work health and safety laws.

A Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) is required to contact NT WorkSafe immediately after becoming aware of a notifiable incident at their workplace.

Notification must be done by the fastest possible means by either:

calling 1800 019 115, or
filling out the Incident Notification Form, and

faxing it to 8999 5141, or
emailing it to ntworksafe@nt.gov.au

A PCBU who makes an incident notification by phone is also required to complete and submit an Incident Notification Form to NT WorkSafe. A PCBU has 48 hours from the time they notified an incident by phone to submit a completed form.

Penalties will apply to a PCBU who fails to notify an incident.
