Employers are responsible for investigating certain incidents or near misses that take place in the workplace and submitting an investigation report to WorkSafeBC. These investigations help employers and WorkSafeBC determine why an incident happened and what can be done to prevent similar situations in the future.

You can submit your Employer Incident Investigation Report (EIIR) several ways:

• Online reporting tool: Once you’ve logged into your account, click on the “Health & Safety” tab, where you’ll see a link to the Employer Incident Investigation Report (EIIR) Dashboard.
• Fillable PDF or Word template, or your own reporting template: Once it's filled in, you can upload your report to us.
• Fax or mail: Alternatively, you can fax your report to 604.276.3247 (toll-free at 1.866.240.1434) or send by mail to: WorkSafeBC, PO Box 5350 Stn Terminal, Vancouver, BC V6B 5L5.

If the incident is related to fishing, please use the Fishing Incident Investigation Report.

If the incident is related to bullying and harassment, refer to our Bullying & harassment webpage for information on how to investigate.
