The reporting must be done by your employer, but if you are involved it's a good idea to make sure it's been reported.
Any injury at work should be recorded in your employer's 'accident book'. Your employer must keep an accident book. It's mainly for the benefit of employees, as it provides a useful record of what happened in case you need time off work or need to claim compensation later on. But recording accidents also helps your employer to see what's going wrong and take action to stop accidents in future.
