Accident / Incident Reporting
EHS investigates accidents, incidents, near misses, and reports of hazards from SFSU community. The goal of these investigations is to determine what happened / what could have happened, what could have been potential causes of the event and what can be done to avoid a similar event anywhere at SFSU, ever again.
Report accidents, injuries, illnesses and other incidents promptly so they can be investigated. This helps the campus evaluate the conditions and try to minimize the chance of a similar incident happening again.
Employees who are injured on the job must fill out the Employee's Report of Work-Related Incident, Injury or Illness and submit the form to HR Workers' Compensation Coordinator.
Employee's Report of Work-Related Incident, Injury, or Illness
