Which form is explicitly mentioned as being completed and returned in the described timeline?

• A. DWC-1
• B. DWC-2
• C. DWC-3
• D. DWC-4

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is reporting a work-related injury promptly using the initial formal record. The form described as being completed and returned within the timeline is the DWC-1, the First Report of Injury or Illness. The employer completes DWC-1 to document the incident, identifying the employee and employer, detailing when and how the injury occurred, and noting any initial medical treatment. This form is then returned to the Division of Workers’ Compensation (and a copy is given to the employee), which starts the official claim process and sets the timetable for subsequent steps. Other DWC forms exist for later stages or different purposes, but they aren’t the form referenced as the one completed and returned in the initial timeline.
