As an employer you are obliged to report all work accidents. An accident is an injury to a person caused by an event or exposure at work that occurs suddenly or within 5 days.

Companies with a Danish CBR-number must report work accidents digitally via EASY. Foreign companies with no CBR-number can report via a special input to virk.dk. In that case the company’s RUT number must be entered.
