If a worker is hurt, the employer must inform Yukon Workers' Compensation Health and Safety Board immediately if the injury or incident is serious (if an ambulance was called, it's serious enough to qualify).

For workplace injuries where no medical attention is required beyond first aid in the workplace, or time off beyond the day of injury, the employer must keep a written record of the incident (but does not have to send a written report to YWCHSB).

For any workplace injury that requires medical attention beyond first aid in the workplace, or time off beyond the day of injury, the employer must file a report with YWCHSB within 3 days.

Fast reporting is crucial to be able to manage the injury properly.  Therefore, employers can be fined for failing to report an injury on time.
