accident book as soon as possible; Every
workplace should have such a book

made ensure that it is factually correct before you
sign it. Do not let the employer or senior
management pressurise you into signing a document

the incident then take their details. If
there were no witnesses to the actual event it may

may have caused the injury. This could also be of

and the system of work employed was an unsafe one;

attend the hospital if the injury warrants it.

history that you were injured and what the diagnosis
was and whether you had to have treatment and
medication;
