Reporting an accident :

Step 1: Fill in the form
** Employers must fill in Part A of the W.Cl.2 form. You can get the form at any labour centre or on the website.
Step 2: Give the form to the doctor
** Employers must tear off Part B of the W.Cl.2 form and give it to the doctor or hospital as soon as possible.
Step 3: Send the forms to the Compensation Fund
** Employers must send the form to the Compensation Fund as soon as possible.
** They do not have to wait for the part the doctor has to fill in.
** Once employers receive the doctor’s part of the form, they can send that too.
They can send it to :
The Compensation Commissioner
PO Box 955

Step 4 : Pay compensation to the worker
** Employers must pay compensation to the worker for the first 3 months after the accident.
** The Compensation Fund will refund the employer for this.
Step 5: Send follow-up forms
** Employers must send the First Medical Report (W.Cl.4) as soon as they get it from the doctor.
** If the worker stays away from work for a long time, employers must get the Progress Medical Report (W.Cl.5) from the doctor and send it to the Fund every month.
** When the worker starts to work again, employers must send the Resumption Report (W.Cl.6), together with the Final Medical Report (W.Cl.5) to the Compensation Fund.
