§ 102346 Work-Related Death Reporting

This law says the local registrar of births and deaths must send each month a copy of every death certificate that is marked as work‑related to the Department of Industrial Relations.

Key Takeaways

  • •Registrars must send work‑related death certificates every month.
  • •Only deaths marked as work‑related are sent.
  • •The rule started on January 1, 2003.
  • •It was updated in 2012 but the reporting requirement stayed the same.

Example

A construction worker dies on the job and the death is recorded as work‑related. The local registrar sends that death certificate to the Department of Industrial Relations the following month.

The registrar follows the rule by mailing the work‑related death certificate to the state agency, so the agency can track work‑related deaths.
