STEP 4: If you are still experiencing pain or discomfort, seek appropriate medical treatment.

If you believe your pain is work-related, you are required to discuss this with your manager/supervisor and complete an injury/illness report within 24 hours.  Your manager/supervisor must also complete their portion of the form. For more information contact Workers’ Compensation or Employee Occupational Health(EOHW).
