Report a work accident
When an employee is injured in an accident at work, the employer must report the accident.
Companies with a Danish business registration number (CVR) must report work accidents using the EASY electronic reporting system. Access to EASY requires a NemID employee signature with special rights.

Foreign service providers who have registered with the Register of Foreign Service Providers (RUT) can report work accidents in a separate part of EASY. In this case the company must enter its RUT number.

Foreign companies that neither have a Danish CVR nor a RUT number are referred to a special form.
