In the Federal Republic of Germany, the following applies: if an accident at work or on the way to or from work results in an employee being unable to work for more than three days, the employer is obligated to inform the insurer of work-related injuries and the trade supervisory authority about the accident in an accident report. In the case of a fatal accident, the local police authorities must also be informed.

The accident report function helps you to comply with these regulations, and enables you to create an accident report from the SAP System and ship it. The sample template for the accident report is the same as the yellow accident report form used by the workers‘ compensation associations in Germany, and complies with German law.
