Report all accidents and incidents promptly.


Note that in some situations multiple forms are required.

 

A. For all employee work-related injuries and illnesses the "Workers Compensation Report of Injury" form, along with the accident follow-up form, must be completed.  These forms are located on the Human Resources web page (WyoWeb logon required):

https://www.uwyo.edu/employeeshr/_files/docs/employee-benefits/Workers-Comp-Fillable-Injury-Report.pdf

If the work related injury meets criteria B  below the "UW First Report of Accident/Incident" must also be completed.


B. For ALL incidents/accidents (including employee injuries) involving:

  • a motor vehicle being used for university business,
  • damage to university property, or
  • injury to a third party,

the "UW First Report of Accident/Incident" must be completed. This form is located on the Risk Management web page:

http://www.uwyo.edu/administration/operations/risk-management/auto.html

 

C. Student and visitor incidents or accidents are reported using the "UW First Report of Accident/Incident" form located on the Risk Management web page:

http://www.uwyo.edu/administration/operations/risk-management/auto.html

 


 

 

Once completed and submitted, copies of the forms are sent to the Environmental Health and Safety Department for review, tracking and possible follow-up. EHS uses the information on the workers compensation first report of injury and follow-up forms in completing the required OSHA 300 log of work-related injuries and illnesses.
