Medical examination: employees must submit to employer-offered free exams or face suspension of compensation for refusal or absence. Employees who report an accident must submit to a free medical examination offered by the employer within three days and may be required to submit to periodic examinations; refusal, obstruction or voluntary departure before examination leads to suspension of the right to compensation unless excused or condoned. Suspension periods are non-compensable and extend waiting periods, the competent authority may pay dependants if death occurs during suspension, and unreasonable refusal or noncompliance that aggravates injury leads to compensation assessed as if proper medical attendance and compliance had occurred.
