Section 4: Employee's Notification of Injury.

(1) In every case of an injury or disabling occupational disease to an employee in a workplace within the scope of this Act, the employee, or in case of death the dependent, shall within 14 days of the occurrence or receipt of the information of the occurrence, inform the employer by giving information of the disease or injury to a manager, supervisor, first-aid attendant, agent in charge of the work where the injury occurred or other appropriate representative of the employer, and the information shall include-
(a) the name of the employee;
(b) the time and place of the occurrence; and
(c) in ordinary language, the nature and cause of the disease or injury if known.
(2) In the case of a disabling occupational disease, the employer to be informed of the death or disability is the employer who last employed the employee in the employment to the nature of which the disease was due.
(3) The employee shall, if he or she is fit to do so and on request of the employer, provide to the employer particulars of the injury or occupational disease on a form prescribed by the Board, and supplied to the employee or the dependant by the employer.
(4) Failure to provide the information required under sub-section (1) of this section is a bar to a claim for compensation under this Act, unless the Board is satisfied that the-
(a) information, although imperfect in some respects, is sufficient to describe the disease or injury suffered;
(b) employer or the employer's representative had knowledge of it; or
(c) employer has not been prejudiced, and the Board considers that the interests of justice requires that the claim be allowed.
