In that case, treatment should be undertaken and a report of the accident made to the district office at the earliest opportunity.
2. The appropriate form shall be completed by the District office for injuries involving outside medical costs and lost time injuries with less than seven (7) days disability.
3. Dental injuries require an estimate and approval prior to correction.
