In compliance with California Workers’ Compensation Law, an employer must report all work-related injuries or illnesses arising out of and in the course of employment and covered by the California Workers’ Compensation System. To comply with this law, all supervisors should complete the Supervisor's First Report forms below within 24 hours of an incident occurring and adhere to the workers’ compensation procedures for supervisors. An Incident Investigation will then need to be completed to determine the root cause of the injury or illness. It will also facilitate ways to prevent their reoccurrence.

Employees are covered for any injury/illness arising out of or in the course of employment. All job-related injuries or illnesses should be immediately reported to the employee’s supervisor. Employees may also report injuries to another Administrator in their area or to an Administrator in Environmental Health & Safety. Workplace safety is our priority. When an injury happens, we want to learn from it. Understanding the root cause helps us find ways to improve our processes and prevent future incidents, ensuring a safer CSUSB for everyone.
Employees who desire to participate in the Workers' Compensation Benefit program must complete the Workers' Compensation (DWC-1) Claim Form to initiate the claims process.
Note: Employees opting to complete the DWC-1 PDF form will be contacted by a member of the Risk Management team.
