GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO THE EMPLOYER
Employers, not employees, are responsible for completing this form. The information is needed to determine liability and entitlement
to benefits. You must file this form with your insurer, and give a copy to the employee and the employee’s local union office. You are
required to provide the employee with a copy of the Employee Information Sheet, which is available on the Department of Labor and
Industry’s web site at www.dli.mn.gov.
Filing this form is not an admission of liability. You must report a claim to your insurer whenever anyone believes that a work-
related injury or illness that requires medical care or where lost time from work has occurred. If the claimed injury wholly or partially
incapacitates the employee for more than three calendar days, the claim must be made on this form and reported to your insurer within
ten days. Your insurer may require you to file it sooner. Failure to file within the ten days may result in penalties. It is important to file
this form quickly to allow your insurer time to investigate the claim. Your insurer will report the injury to the Department of Labor and
Industry (Department), when necessary. Self-insured employers have 14 days to report the injury to the Department, when necessary.
If the claim involves death or serious injury (including injuries that later result in death), you must notify the Department and
your insurer within 48 hours of the occurrence. The claim can be reported initially to the Department by telephone 651-284-5005, press
3 or 800-342-5354, press 3. The initial notice must be followed by the filing of this form with the Department within seven days of the
occurrence, at P.O. Box 64221, St. Paul, MN 55164-0221.
SEND THIS FORM TO YOUR INSURER IMMEDIATELY – DO NOT WAIT FOR THE DOCTOR’S REPORT
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO THE EMPLOYER ON COMPLETING THIS FORM
• Item 2: OSHA case #. Fill in the case number from the OSHA 300 log. This form contains all items required by the OSHA form 301.
• Items 17-21: Fill in all the wage information. If the employee does not work a regularly scheduled work week, attach a 26 week
wage statement so your insurer can calculate the appropriate average weekly wage. Attach a separate sheet giving the weekly
value of any meals, lodging, or 2nd income paid to the employee.
• Item 20: Fill in the average number of days per week that the employee works. Also include their normal work schedule, Sunday -
Saturday, by checking the appropriate boxes. If the employee’s work schedule fluctuates from week-to-week, leave the boxes blank.
• Items 22-24: Be as specific as possible in describing: the events causing the injury; the nature of the injury (cut, sprain, burn, etc.),
and the part(s) of body injured (back, arm, etc.); and the tools, equipment, machines, objects or substances involved.
• Item 26: Fill in the first day the employee lost any time from work (including time lost for medical treatment), even if you paid the
employee for the lost time.
• Item 27: Check the appropriate box to indicate if there was lost time on the date of injury and whether you paid for that lost time.
• Item 28: Fill in the date you first became aware of the injury or illness.
• Item 29: Fill in the date you became aware that the lost time indicated in Item 26 was related to the claimed injury.
• Item 30: Leave the box blank if the employee has not returned to work by the time you file this form. If the employee has returned to
work, fill in the date and answer the questions in Items 31 and 32. Notify your insurer if the employee misses time due to this injury
after that date.
• Item 34: Check all the boxes that apply AT the time you file this form.
• Item 39: Fill in your Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). For information, see https://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-
Businesses-&-Self-Employed/Lost-or-Misplaced-Your-EIN.
• Items 40 and 44: Fill in your Unemployment ID number and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code, which
are both assigned by the Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Program (651-296-6141).
• Items 46-54: Your insurer or claims administrator will complete this information if you do not have it available.

Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 176.231, and Minnesota Rules, part 5220.2530, insurers and self-insured employers must file

sections 2 to 4 of the Minnesota implementation guide, in all cases where a first report of injury is required to be filed under Minnesota
Statutes, chapter 176. The Minnesota implementation guide can be found on the Department’s website at www.dli.mn.gov/WC/Edi.asp.
A first report of injury submitted by the insurer or self-insured employer in any other manner or format is not considered filed with the

injury.
If the claim does not involve lost time beyond the waiting period or potential permanent partial disability (PPD), or has not been
requested to be filed by the Department, a first report of injury does not need to be filed.
