• Fill out an Initial Report of Injury on all employees who have been injured on the job.
• Forward the report to the insurance company within 48 hours, not to exceed ten days after the date of injury.
• Direct the injured employee to seek medical attention by giving a specific written order for examination and treatment (includes specific instructions).
