Safety incidents—what are your reporting responsibilities?
This could be the most important thing you do on site today. Reporting a safety incident could save the life of your workers and workmates.
Fatalities and serious injuries on building sites have made it more important than ever for licensees to notify the QBCC quickly of safety incidents onsite.
Safety incidents include death, serious injury or illness, or something that puts a person at risk of serious injury or illness.
Reporting these incidents makes sure that an employer and the QBCC are aware of issues that need to be taken seriously, which helps make the industry safer for everyone.
How to report an incident
Any QBCC licensee should report a safety incident as soon as you see or hear about it directly to the QBCC, even if you’ve already reported it to another agency, such as Workplace Health and Safety. Failure to report a safety incident can result in a fine up to $10,000.
Reporting a safety incident is quick and easy, simply complete our form or call us on 139 333.

Avoid a disaster this season
It’s the time of year when severe weather events can cause havoc to homes and building sites.
Over the last decades many Queenslanders have been affected by, or helped others recover from storms, cyclones, floods or bushfires and know the devastation these events can cause.
Don’t risk your home or your business if a disaster does hit. There are simple things home owners and tradies can do to minimise damage from a natural disaster.
To prepare, or if you are impacted by a natural disaster, see our disaster and recovery information to help get back into your home or back to business.
If you are currently in an emergency situation call 000.
