How soon after a report of injury must a Form 5D be submitted?

A Form 5D must be submitted within 48 hours after a report of injury to ensure that the incident is documented promptly and the necessary support can be provided to the injured party. This timeframe is critical as it allows for timely investigation and assessment of the circumstances surrounding the injury, which can be important for both operational improvements and compliance with regulatory requirements. Prompt reporting also aids in maintaining accurate records and can facilitate quicker processing of any benefits or claims associated with the injury. Delays beyond this timeframe could hinder the response to the injury and may complicate subsequent administrative processes.
