Health and safety
Have you been injured at work? If you have experienced an accident during your working hours, it is a work injury, even if the accident is not directly caused by your workplace.
Call 112 If it is a serious accident, stay at work and call 112. Tell them that it is a work accident. This will ensure that all relevant authorities are immediately involved. Tell your boss It is important to tell your boss about your injury immediately so that it can be notified to the Occupational Injury Authorities (Arbejdsskadestyrelsen). Some employers "forget" to report the injury, so make sure your injury is reported. Contact your doctor immediately

If you get an injury at work, do not wait longer than two days before contacting your doctor. This makes it easier to prove that the damage stems from an incident at work. Your injury must be described in your journal the day you come to the doctor. If your boss fail to report your injury, you and your doctor may report it.

If it turns out that your injury prevents you from continuing your work as a construction worker, then you may be entitled to compensation.
