How long do you have to report an accident at work?

In the moment, dealing with an injury can feel like a priority, but reporting the accident is just as important. Whether the injury seems minor or more serious, making sure it is properly recorded can help prevent further incidents in the workplace - and create important evidence should you decide to make a claim for compensation at a later date.
