 A suprising number of companies don`t know what to do when an employee injures themselves on duty. The first important regulation to know is that the Labour Act requires that you have a trained first aider if you employ 10 or more people in your organization. This is a minimum of level 1 first aid training. If you employ more than 5 people, a first aid box is required on your premises. This link tells you the minimum requirements for the contents of the first aid box. www.labourguide.co.za/health-and-safety/720-update-first-aid-and-aid-boxes

​Secondly if an employee injures themselves on duty and they have to attend a Doctor either privately or at a hospital a "First medical report in respect of an accident"  (W.CI.4) has to be completed. This form should preferably accompany the injured employee with as much detail completed at thier visit to the medical facility, and where possible, a copy of thier identity document. This is very important particularly which the injury on duty may result in a workmans compensation claim. For your convienience the form can be dowloaded below:
