Alaska Statutes.

Title 18. Health, Safety, and Housing

Chapter 60. Safety

Section 58. Reporting of Injuries and Illnesses.

AS 18.60.058. Reporting of Injuries and Illnesses.

(a) In the event of an employment accident that is fatal to one or more employees or that results in the in-patient hospitalization of one or more employees, the employer shall report the accident orally by telephone or in person to the nearest office of the division of labor standards and safety or by telephone to the federal toll-free number provided by the division. The report must relate the name of the establishment, the location of the accident, the time of the accident, a contact person and the telephone number of the contact person, a brief description of the accident, the number of fatalities or hospitalized employees, and the extent of any injuries. The report must be made immediately but in no event later than eight hours after receipt by the employer of information that the accident has occurred. However, if the employer first receives information of a fatality or in-patient hospitalization of one or more employees eight or more hours after the accident but within 30 days after the accident, the employer must make the report within eight hours after receiving information of the fatality or in-patient hospitalization. This subsection does not apply to an employer that first receives information of a fatality or in-patient hospitalization more than 30 days after the accident.

(b) In the event of an employment accident that is fatal to one or more employees or that results in in-patient hospitalization of two or more employees, equipment, material, or product related to the injury or fatality may not be moved or altered until clearance is given by the department, except when compliance with this requirement would interfere for an unreasonable length of time with work or create additional hazards. If equipment, material, or products must be moved or altered before department clearance, the employer shall submit a detailed investigative report of the accident to the division.
