Record and report an accident, incident or near miss
How to report a death or major injury
You must report some accidents without delay, ie by telephone, and send in a completed accident form (F2508) within ten days. This applies if:
- your employee or a self-employed person working on your premises is killed or suffers a major injury
- a member of the public is killed or is injured and taken to hospital
You can complete form F2508 at the Incident Contact Centre on the HSE website, or buy a pad of forms from HSE books and send the report in by post.

Businesses in Northern Ireland should report to the Health and Safety Executive Northern Ireland (HSENI).
