In OHS Online, what is a W.Cl.4 – First Medical Report form and how do I use it?
That's another good question! The W.Cl.4 - First Medical Report form is another of the initial document required by the Compensation Commissioner when reporting the details of an IOD occurring in the workplace. It is more commonly referred to as a W.Cl.4 form.
The W.Cl.4 form is completed by the doctor and provides details of the actual injuries he or she diagnoses, on seeing the injured employee initially. The doctor provides a copy of the W.Cl.4 form to the employee, who must return this to his or her employer, so it can be submitted to the Compensation Commissioner, as part of the required documentation to be sent:
Once the employee has visited the doctor for an initial consultation and diagnosis, make sure that the employee provides you with the copy of the W.Cl.4 form. Make a copy of this yourself and keep this on record and then submit the W.Cl.4 form to the Compensation Commissioner.

Good day , how can I get hold of my documents that was submitted when I got injured on Labour department I need my w.cl.4 form
2024-01-29 18:17:49Good Day Josef. To obtain a copy of your W.CL.4 form, here are the steps you can take: 1. Contact Your Employer: Typically, your employer is responsible for submitting the injury on duty report to the Department of Labour. Reach out to your Human Resources (HR) department or whoever is responsible for health and safety in your organization and request a copy of the submitted W.CL.4 form. 2. Local Department of Labour Office: Visit or contact the nearest Department of Labour office. You may need to provide them with your personal details, the details of your injury, and your employment information at the time of the injury to help them locate your file. 3. Online Systems: If your employer uses an online system for submitting claims to the Compensation Fund, such as the CompEasy system or any other cloud-based management system, you might be able to obtain a copy of the form through that system. Your employer's HR or health and safety officer should be able to assist you with this. 4. Written Request: If the above steps do not yield results, you can write a formal request to the Compensation Commissioner's office, asking for a copy of the W.CL.4 form. Remember to include all necessary information to identify your claim. Please ensure you have your ID and, if possible, your claim number handy when making these inquiries, as these details will probably be required to access your documentation.

2022-09-09 07:35:26Hi I would like to check which form does one need to complete for leave if it IOD related leave
2023-11-26 12:35:31Dear Senzwesihle Thank you for your query via our comments page... There is no official for to complete for leave due to IOD, the Doctor will give you a sick note with his Medical Report, the sick note will stipulate how many days you must take off for recovery, your employer will then act accordingly within the Law and his company policies... My suggestion is to speak to your Supervisor and ask for the sick leave forms as they come from the employer...
