Agency posts Form 801 employer guide video; committee asks staff to circulate link
Summary
The Small Business Ombudsman's Office presented a short video explaining employer responsibilities when completing the employer section of Form 801; members praised the outreach and requested the link be distributed to MLAC members.
Committee members watched a short video from the Small Business Ombudsman's Office that demonstrates how employers should complete the employer section of Form 801 (report of job injury or illness). The video narrator explained key steps: "Once you have notice of an injury, form 801 must be provided to the worker right away," employers must report a claim to their insurer within five days, keep incident records for five years, and avoid directing a worker's medical care (failure to do so can lead to civil penalties). The video emphasizes practical steps for employers to comply with reporting obligations and suggested accompanying resources.
After the video, presenters said the item would be posted to the agency website within a few weeks and offered to send the link to Terry Watson for distribution to MLAC members. Members complimented the communications team for clear guidance and QR codes that make materials easy to share with employers and labor partners.
