What to do if you get injured at work?

Your health and safety are the top priority. You need to act quickly and correctly:

1. Get first aid.
   If the injury is serious, immediately call an ambulance (999 or 112). For less serious injuries, contact the employee responsible for providing first aid at your workplace.
2. Report the incident.
   Inform your supervisor or manager immediately about what happened. Do this even if the injury seems minor — the consequences may appear later.
3. Record the incident.
   Make sure the accident is recorded in the Accident Book. This is an official document and important evidence. If there is no Accident Book, send written notice to your employer (for example, by email), stating the date, time, place, and circumstances of the incident.
4. Collect evidence.
   If possible and safe, take photos of the scene, the cause of the injury (e.g. wet floor with no warning sign, faulty equipment), and the injury itself. Record names and contact details of witnesses.
5. See a doctor.
   Even if you have already received first aid at work, it is strongly recommended to be examined by a medical professional. An official medical report can be crucial in any further investigation or compensation claim.
