the course of the employment, the employer shall send to the division a report setting out

- (2) the name, address, and occupation of the employee;
- (3) the cause and nature of the alleged injury or death;
- (4) the year, month, day, and hour when and the particular locality where the alleged injury or death occurred; and

- (b) Additional reports with respect to the injury and to the condition of the employee shall be sent by the employer to the
division at the times and in the manner that the director prescribes.

business in the place where the injury occurred, or the carrier has knowledge of an injury or death of an employee and
fails, neglects, or refuses to file a report of it as required by (a) of this section, the limitations in AS 23.30.105

of this section.
