When
to Report?
You must file the First Report within seven (7) calendar days of
your receiving notice of the injury, disease or occurrence. You
should immediately report such injuries, diseases or occurrences
to the Human Resources Department who will notify immediately our
service company, Cannon
Cochran Management Services, Inc. (CCMSI).
The Service Company
may give specific reporting instructions, but should accept
the First Report of Injury
as the first notice. In the case of an injury, disease, or occurrence
resulting in five (5) or more calendar days of disability the
original
First Report of Injury must be sent by the employer to the Department
of Industrial Accidents. Otherwise, the employer is subject to a $100 fine
for each instance
of failure to file a report whether by neglect or by refusal to
file.
In a "medical only" claim, one in which less than five (5)
calendar days are involved, you need not send The Department
of
Industrial Accidents any First Report of Injury, but the Human
Resources Department and the Service Company always is sent the
report.
