************************************************************************
********************************

 

The University of California's mission is to provide a safe working
environment for all employees and to minimize the adverse impact of
work-incurred injuries.  In this effort we require the campus to report
work-incurred injuries within 24 hours of the time of incident. Our goal
in requiring the timely reporting of incidents is to promote prompt
notification of unsafe conditions so immediate and appropriate
remediation can take place.

 

There are 2 ways to report a work-incurred injury:

 

1.     Incident Report Form - the form can be downloaded via the Human
Resources website: 

http://www.humanresources.ucr.edu/?content=ProgramsAndServices/workersco
mp/WorkersCompensationForms.htm

In the event of a work-incurred injury, the employee and supervisor need
to fill out an Incident Report form and fax or e-mail it to Labor
Relations & Workers' Compensation Office.

 

2.     UC Telephonic Claim Reporting - 1-877-682-7778 (1-877-6UC-RPRT).
Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The injured employee or supervisor can now report a work-incurred injury
by calling UC Telephonic Claim Reporting.  This service is free and
provided by UCOP Risk Services.

 

As a reminder, when the injured employee needs medical attention,
medical treatment can be obtained at one of the following medical
