What is the time limit in sending a Fire Report (LAB 1019) and/or Casualty Report (LAB 1020)?
Federal departments should send in their forms to the applicable Human Resources and Social Development Canada, Labour Program regional or district office within 14 days of a fire’s occurrence; conduct a preliminary examination of the fire; submit a fire casualty report for every fire death or injury; submit reports of any formal fire investigations undertaken subsequent to the preliminary examination stage. Federal departments must co-operate with and assist authorized fire investigators in performing their duties; implement recommendations resulting from fire investigations and estimate fire losses as follows: • losses involving property that is not to be replaced shall be reported on a depreciated book-value basis; • losses involving property of any description valued at $1,000 or less, and property that is to be replaced, shall be reported on a straight replacement-cost basis; • losses involving property of any description valued at over $1,000, and property that is to be replaced,
