Searched questions
Plain answers California operators actually type.
- How fast must a California employer report a workplace injury?
- DWC-1 to the employee within one working day of knowledge. Form 5020 to the claims administrator within five days. Serious injury or death to Cal/OSHA immediately, no later than eight hours.
- What counts as serious for Cal/OSHA?
- Inpatient hospitalization beyond observation, amputation, loss of an eye, serious permanent disfigurement, or death. When in doubt we report. Late report penalties beat an extra call.
