If your employee was injured in a work accident resulting in outpatient, hospitalisation leave or light duty, as an employer, you need to submit an incident report within 10 days of the first notice of accident.

You should count the calendar days of medical leave, even if the medical leave period extends over any public holiday, rest day or non-working day. When filing the incident report, use the total number of days of medical leave granted as a result of the single work-related accident.

Refer to the table below for examples:

Scenario	Required to report	When to report	Number of days of MC to be filled in incident report
MC granted for 3 to 4 Feb (Mon to Tue). Work on 5 Feb (Wed). Given further 2 days MC for 6 to 7 Feb (Thu to Fri).	Yes.	Report within 10 days from first notice of accident.	2 + 2 = 4 days
MC granted for 3 Feb (Mon). Went for medical follow-up and given further MC for 7 to 10 Mar (Fri to Mon). Sunday is a rest day.	Yes.	Report within 10 days from first notice of accident.	1 + 4 = 5 days

Incident reports take a long time to complete. Can MOM reduce the number of compulsory fields for minor accidents?
