§ 4123.28.
Every employer in this state shall keep a record of all injuries and occupational
diseases, fatal or otherwise, received or contracted by his employees in the course
of their employment and resulting in seven days or more of total disability. Within a week after acquiring knowledge of an injury or death therefrom, and in
the event of occupational disease or death therefrom, within one week after acquiring
knowledge of or diagnosis of or death from an occupational disease or of a report
to the employer of the occupational disease or death, a report thereof shall be made
in writing to the bureau of workers' compensation upon blanks to be procured from
the bureau for that purpose. The report shall state the name and nature of the business of the employer, the
location of his establishment or place of work, the name, address, nature and duration
of occupation of the injured, disabled, or deceased employee and the time, the nature,
and the cause of injury, occupational disease, or death, and such other information
as is required by the bureau. The employer shall give a copy of each report to the employee it concerns or his surviving
dependents. No employer shall refuse or neglect to make any report required by this section. Each day that an employer fails to file a report required by this section constitutes
an additional day within the time period given to a claimant by the applicable statute
of limitations for the filing of a claim based on the injury or occupational disease,
provided that a failure to file a report shall not extend the applicable statute of
limitations for more than two additional years.
