Recordable work-related ill health

A case of work-related ill health is any illness caused or made worse by workplace factors or caused primarily by exposure at work to a physical, organisational, chemical or biological risk factor or to a combination of these factors. Such a case is recordable if it results in any of the following: (a) death, absence from work, restricted work or transfer to another job, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness; or (b) significant injury or ill health diagnosed by a physician or other licensed healthcare professional, even if it does not result in death, absence from work, restricted work or job transfer, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness.
