How to give notice of an occupational accident
The employer must notify the Labour Inspection Authority and the police as soon as possible, and no later than the next business day following the occupational accident.
Call the Labour Inspection Authority at tel. 73 19 97 00 (select option 3) to give notice of an accident.
- All work-related accidents with a fatal outcome must be called in via telephone as soon as possible.
- This line is open to receive notices on business days 08:00-15:00.
You must also call to notify the closest police authority. Call the police using telephone number 02800.
Before calling, be prepared to answer questions about the following:
- where the accident occurred – give as accurate an address as possible

- who you are and what your role is – name, role and telephone number
- other relevant contact persons – names, roles and telephone numbers

If you are unable to notify us via telephone immediately, you must fill out and submit the notification form (see below) as soon as possible. Notice of serious dangerous situations in connection with rock work shall be given in the same manner.
After you have notified the Labour Inspection Authority and the police via telephone, you must confirm the verbal notice in writing by filling out and submitting a notification form to the Labour Inspection Authority.
