Question: What must a federal employee do when injured at work?
Answer:
- Report the injury to the supervisor right away and obtain first
aid as necessary;
- Complete a written report (Form CA-1
or CA-2)
and give it to the supervisor;
- If a traumatic injury is involved, and further medical treatment is
needed, obtain authorization (Form CA-16) from the supervisor for treatment
by a physician of the employee's choice. If that physician is not available,
the employee still has the right to choose a treating physician and should
therefore select another;
- If a traumatic injury is involved, furnish the supervisor with medical
evidence of any disability within 10 calendar days of claiming continuation
of pay.
