FAQs

What are the reporting requirements for injury accidents?

The owner or operator shall immediately cease to operate any conveyance involved in a fatality or serious physical injury, except to the extent necessary to protect life, limb and property. Such accident shall be reported in writing by the owner or operator within twenty-four (24) hours to the Department of Labor. For the purposes of this requirement, the term “serious physical injury” shall mean any significant injury that requires immediate medical examination or treatment by a licensed physician.

Unless authorized in writing by the department, no conveyance may be operated, altered, repaired, or tampered with, except to protect life, limb and property, following an accident involving a serious injury or death until the department has completed an investigation concerning the accident.

The Owner or operator may use the accident form (ASEB Injury Accident Report) posted above or submit a similar form with the same information as stated on the department form.
