A serious incident is notified to WorkCover immediately on 13 10 50

plus:

  • notified to the workers compensation insurer within 48 hours when there is a workplace injury
  • notified to WorkCover within 7 days when there is an injury or illness to a non-worker

These serious incidents are listed under clause 344 of the OHS Regulation 2001.
