Use the Injury and Illness Report (IIR) to report work-related injury, illness, or exposure. This is the site to use to submit and manage claims.

- Employees will immediately notify their supervisor when occupationally-related injuries and illnesses occur, or when employees first become aware of such problems.
- Supervisors will investigate all accidents, injuries, occupational illnesses, and near-miss incidents to identify the causal factors or attendant hazards. Appropriate repairs or procedural changes will be implemented promptly to mitigate the hazards implicated in these events.
UC Affliates (volunteers) - fill out an Incident Report
Biohazard Incident Report
- In the event of :
- Any spill of recombinant DNA or infectious agents
- Injuries and accidental autoinoculation, ingestion, or inhalation of infectious agents
Any accidental release of recombinant plants or plant pathogens to the environment
Notify your immediate supervisor and EH&S. A Biohazard Incident Report should be completed - in most cases when an EFR is submitted, a biohazard exposure report will be triggered by the EFR - if it is in an environmental release of plant related material (not harmful to people) complete the Biohazard Incident Report.
