Report occupational injury or illness

You can send an injury report to NAV in the event of an occupational injury or illness, if the person who is obliged to report does not do so. Obliged to report are employers, the Armed Forces, principals or others in similar positions.

In these situations, you can report an occupational injury or disease yourself:

• When he workplace or educational institution has closed down or has been wound up.
• When the company cannot report the injury to NAV for other reasons.
• As a survivor, if the relevant employer or institution does not report the occupational accident or occupational illness.

Provide more information about an occupational accident.

Use the Injury Explanation Form only after the accident/injury has been reported to NAV on the Injury Reporting Form. If we have any questions, we may ask you to send an explanation of the accident/injury. You can also use the form if you wish to add or correct information in your case, on your own initiative.

You can upload attachments to the explanation. 

Use this form to provide more information about harmful influences you have been exposed to at work, teaching or during service.

This may be noise impact, dust influence, solvent influence, asbestos or other harmful influence.

The decision will have information about how to proceed if you want to complain, where to send your complaint and the term of complaint. If you have questions about the decision, you can contact us.

If you disagree with the decision of your complaint from the the NAV Appeals Management Unit, you can, with some exceptions, appeal the decision. The deadline for appealing is stated in the decision.
