Workers Compensation/ Accident Reporting

VCU's Office of Environmental Health and Safety reviews workers' compensation reports and analyzes key incidents and trends that may compromise the safety of patients, visitors, students or staff.  All accidents and injuries are to be reported to your supervisor at the time of the incident.

An accident report form must be completed by the employee and his/her supervisor.  The form is then forwarded to the Occupational Safety Coordinator for review.  It is important for all accidents, no matter how slight, to be reported and that the form to be filled out completely.  This ensures that all potential hazards are identified and that the information is available for trend analysis.

If you have any questions about workers compensation or accident reporting you may call OEHS at 828-0040.
