Report a work accident

Digital notification of work accidents

Notification of accidents can be given digitally via EASY. EASY is a notification system for reporting accidents at work made by the Danish Working Environment Authority and the Danish Labour Market Insurance.

Digital notification through EASY is only possible for companies with a Danish CBR number. In addition access requires a NemID employee signature with rights to EASY.

Report a work accident with CBR number in EASY (in English)

A foreign enterprise without a Danish CBR-number, i.e. the owner of a foreign drilling rig, can report a work accident via a special input to EASY. In this case the company must submit its RUT-number (Register of Foreign Service Providers).

Report a work accident with RUT number (in English)

Enterprises that neither have a Danish CBR nor a RUT number are referred to a special notification form.

When to report a work accident

The employer is obliged to report an accident at work:

• if it means that the person can not perform his usual work for 1 day or more in addition to the injury date. Notification must be made within 9 days from the first day of absence, cf. the Working Environment Act
• if the injured person can be entitled to compensation under the Occupational Injury Act (eg compensation for permanent loss or loss of employment). Notification must be made no later than 9 days after the accident date.
• if the injured person has not fully resumed his work within 5 weeks of the accident, cf. the Occupational Injury Act.
