This law requires supervisors to report a worker's death or likely disabling injury right away. The report goes to the Secretary of Labor. The Secretary can set what the report includes and ask for more information.

As soon as an employee is injured in a way that causes death or probable disability, that employee's immediate supervisor must report it to the Secretary of Labor. The Secretary may: (1) decide what information the report must contain; (2) require the supervisor to file follow-up reports; and (3) get more reports and information from employees, as agreed between the Secretary and the head of the employing agency.
