Independent guide, not an official website
Nepal Docs Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal. This guide helps you prepare, but official portals and offices control final rules, fees, forms, and timelines.
Quick answer
To create a factual immediate and investigation record, prepare injured worker and job details, date, place and task, witness, photo and equipment evidence, medical and emergency response records, confirm the current process with the responsible labour office, Department of Labour and Occupational Safety or OSH Center, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Workers and employers documenting an occupational accident
- Applicants who need to create a factual immediate and investigation record using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Worker, employer, union, supplier or authorized representative identity
- □ injured worker and job details
- □ date, place and task
- □ witness, photo and equipment evidence
- □ medical and emergency response records
- □ Official contract, ILMIS, labour office, safety or complaint reference
- □ Official wage, settlement, licence or service receipt when applicable
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the responsible labour office, Department of Labour and Occupational Safety or OSH Center is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across injured worker and job details, date, place and task, witness, photo and equipment evidence, medical and emergency response records.
- Provide emergency care, preserve the scene safely, notify the responsible authority and insurer when required, investigate causes, and document corrective action.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched injured worker and job details, date, place and task, witness, photo and equipment evidence, medical and emergency response records
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Blaming a worker before preserving facts can hide equipment, training and system failures.
Confirm the current Labour Act, rules, wage notice and occupational safety requirement
