 Complete a WorkSafe Application for Compensation and Report of Injury or Occupational

Disease (Form 6) with your manager within 48 hours; if you don’t do so, this could result in

 In order for a claim to be established, your manager must send a completed WorkSafe

Employer’s Report of Injury or Occupational Disease (Form 7) and an Accident Investigation
