Occupational injuries and incidents
If you are involved in an incident that causes injury, ill health, or could have resulted in an accident, you must report it in the IA system. The employer is required to investigate what happened and take measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring again.
What is an occupational injury?
An occupational injury may include:
- a physical or psychological injury sustained at work
- an accident occurring while travelling to or from work
- an occupational disease, such as stress-related ill health or a musculoskeletal disorder
- an infection contracted in connection with work or during a business trip.
What is a near miss?
A near miss is an unintended incident that could have resulted in ill health or an accident.
Report in the IA system
Employees and students who experience an occupational injury, a near miss, or a risk of injury must report the incident in the IA system.
You can seek assistance from a health and safety representative, your manager, or a colleague if you need support when submitting a report.
Once the report has been registered, both the person reporting the incident and their immediate manager will receive notification by email.
What happens after a report is submitted?
The immediate manager or Head of Department is responsible for investigating the incident and taking measures to reduce the risk of a similar occurrence in the future.
Compensation for occupational injuries
All employees at Stockholm University are covered by AFA's Personal Injury Agreement (PSA) insurance.
You can apply for compensation through the IA system when submitting your report.
