Where can an Accident Register be obtained?
Accident Registers can be kept in any way, so long as they contain the details set out in the Health and Safety in Employment (Prescribed Matters) Regulations 2003. They could be loose leaf forms in a folder, a pre-printed book, or an electronic record.
The form used for notification of serious harm can also be used as an accident form. These forms can be downloaded from www.osh.govt.nz and/or photocopied as required. (ie: keeping a copy of these completed forms together in one place would meet your accident record-keeping obligations)
For those who prefer to have a pre-printed book, Collins have published a 'Workplace Injury and Investigation Register' which is available from many stationery stores.
The Department of Labour no longer publishes a pre-printed Accident Register.
