What To Do After a Work-Related Injury or Illness
First, you must tell your employer immediately if you are injured at work or while doing a work-related task. If you are suffering from an illness caused by your job that has happened gradually over time, you must report it to your employer as soon as you become aware.
Examples of work-related illnesses could be lung conditions caused by smoke or other carcinogens in the workplace. A stress fracture or other muscle condition due to repetitive movements may occur over time. Once you have reported your injury or condition, ask your employer for a Workers’ Compensation Claim Form (DWC1). Your employer must give you the form or mail it to you (postmarked) within one working day of reporting your work-related injury or illness.
