What must employers do to make sure that employees are aware of insurance coverage and/or other related information?
All employers must post a NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES on a bulletin board in a suitable public area on their premises. The notice, which is available at all DIA offices and on our website, must be completed in its entirety indicating the name of the insurance carrier, the address, policy number, and a contact person to whom injuries or incidents should be reported. This is all public information, and must be readily available to any person who needs it. Failure to provide the information to the employee is a violation of the law, and the employer is subject to a fine. There is also an optional space on the notice to list a designated healthcare provider for initial treatment following an injury.
