Accident Report

at RPTU

What is an accident report?

An accident report is the legally required notification of a work or commuting accident to the Rhineland-Palatinate Accident Insurance Fund. It must be reported by RPTU within three days of the accident. All employees and students at RPTU are insured against work and commuting accidents by the Unfallkasse. In contrast, the employer is responsible for civil servants in the event of an accident. On this page you will find contact information regarding the accident report, the necessary forms and instructions on how to forward them to the relevant authorities. The accident report serves to clarify the circumstances of the accident, to ensure entitlement to benefits and for general accident prevention.

Deaths and serious injuries caused by accidents must be reported immediately by telephone to the Rhineland-Palatinate Accident Insurance Fund in Andernach, Tel. 02632/960-0.

Important Information About Reporting an Accident

Civil Servants

Work-related and commuting accidents involving civil servants must be reported to the Human Resources Department, Division 3.1 (see contact information).

Employees and Students

In the event of fatal workplace or commuting accidents involving employees or students, the RPTU must immediately notify the Rhineland-Palatinate Accident Insurance Fund. Therefore, employees and students are required to report reportable accidents to the respective contact persons as soon as possible. Please send the completed accident report form in hard copy or via email to the designated contacts (see Contacts). The online accident report is submitted automatically.

When must an accident report be filed?
  • Employees must file an accident report for work-related or commuting accidents whenever the accident results in the person being unable to work for more than three days.
  • Students must file an accident report whenever they have received medical treatment.

The completed accident report must be submitted to the appropriate person (see contact information on the right) electronically or in paper form.

For commuting accidents, the “Supplementary Form for Commuting Issues in Landau” or “Supplementary Form for Commuting Issues in Kaiserslautern” must also be completed in full. In addition, the accident insurance fund requires a map showing the actual route traveled and the location of the accident. If the accident was a traffic accident, the investigating police department, its case number (to be obtained from the police!), the names and addresses of the individuals involved in the accident, and the license plate numbers of the vehicles involved must be provided to the Accident Insurance Fund. To report accidents occurring during business trips, you must submit a copy of the approved business trip request and, if applicable, the event or seminar program.
