Occupational injuries and incidents
If you are injured or become ill as a result of your work, or are involved in an incident that could have caused an accident, you must report it in the IA system. Your immediate manager or head of department is responsible for investigating what happened and taking appropriate action.
Your manager, health and safety representative or a colleague can help you submit the report.
After you submit a report
Once you have reported the incident, you and your immediate manager will receive information by email.
Your immediate manager is responsible for investigating what happened and taking action to reduce the risk of something similar happening again.
Occupational injuries
An occupational injury may be
- a physical or psychological injury caused by your work
- an accident while travelling to or from work, known as a commuting accident
- an occupational disease, such as stress-related ill health or a musculoskeletal disorder
- an infection related to your work or a business trip.
Near misses
A near miss is an unwanted event that could have resulted in ill health or an accident, even though no one was injured.
Near misses must also be reported in the IA system. This enables the employer to address risks before someone is injured or becomes ill.
Compensation for occupational injury
All employees at Stockholm University are covered by AFA's Personal Injury Agreement (PSA).
You can apply for compensation through the IA system when you report the occupational injury. You can also apply directly to AFA Insurance.
