From January 2026, the rules for reporting accidents at work will change. Employers will no longer be able to send paper forms – they will now have to report all injuries exclusively electronically. The change is based on a new government regulation and applies to all companies regardless of size.

The form will be available online on the website of the State Labour Inspection Office and its completion will have a clearly defined structure. Employers will be able to save, print or send it without the need for an electronic signature, but the document must be internally signed and archived. Minor work accidents will also have to be reported – and within 15 working days.

Digitisation should bring greater clarity, fewer errors and faster communication with the authorities. At the same time, however, even electronic reports must be sent correctly and on time – otherwise there is a risk of problems, especially when inspecting or dealing with an insurance claim. So if an accident occurs, it will no longer be enough to just write it down in the accident book or fill in a paper – it will be important to report everything online and according to the new rules.
