Who else can workers and employers talk to if they are concerned about work-related symptoms and illnesses?
Workers also can consult their personal doctor, union representative, company health care provider, or HESIS; A physician who treats a worker and determines that an illness or injury is work-related must file a Doctor’s First Report of Illness or Injury (PDF); Employer resources include their workers’ compensation insurance carrier, trade association, Cal/OSHA Consultation Service, company health care provider, and HESIS; HESIS can provide information on the health effects of chemicals and other workplace hazards, symptoms of overexposure, and occupational medicine resources.
