Registration and handling of accidents and near misses

Any occupational accidents or near-miss incidents that happens during work or studies must be registered in DTU Injury. DTU Injury should not be used in emergency situations – not until afterwards.

What is DTU Injury?

DTU Injury is a simple system for registering occupational accidents and near-miss incidents that happen at DTU. DTU Injury is available as an app and via DTU Inside in English and Danish.

The system is used to gather information on occupational accidents and near-miss incidents in order to take preventive measures. Occupational accidents that lead to absence will be reported to the Danish Working Environment Authority and the Labour Market Insurance.

IMPORTANT: DTU Injury should not be used in emergency situations – not until afterwards. In case of emergency, follow the instructions in the box to the right.

What to do

Consider if there is a need to see a doctor and eliminate any remaining risks at the accident site before you register in DTU Injury. In DTU Injury you will be asked to:

  • Register the place of accident or near-miss incident

  • Upload up to 3 photos (optional)
