[Prior to 10/7/98, see 347—Ch 4]
875—4.1(88) Purpose and scope. These rules provide for record keeping and reporting by employers covered under Iowa Code chapter 88 as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the Act, for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational accidents and illnesses, and for maintaining a program of collection, compilation and analysis of occupational safety and health statistics. This chapter applies to public and private employers, and the use of the word “company” or “companies” in the standard adopted by reference herein shall not limit the scope or application of this chapter to private employers.
875—4.2(88) First reports of injury. All employers shall report to the Iowa division of workers’ compensation any occupational injury or illness which temporarily disables an employee for more than three days or which results in permanent total disability, permanent partial disability or death. This report shall be made within four days from such event when such injury or illness is alleged by the employee to have been sustained in the course of the employee’s employment. First reports of injury are to be filed in the form and manner required by the division of workers’ compensation. A report to the division of workers’ compensation is considered to be a report to the division of labor services. The division of workers’ compensation shall forward all reports to the division of labor services. This rule does not excuse employers from making reports required by rule 875—4.3(88).
