Changes in federal regulations require that the University update the procedures and form used for reporting accidental injuries, occupational illnesses, and workplace violence incidents. Use the new form and procedures for incidents occurring on or after January 1, 2002.

To allow for reporting of incidents occurring during 2001, the old procedures and form will be maintained on the SPPM web site for a few months. Refer to S25.20 (2001)and S25.20.7 (2001).
