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 reoccurence.

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 and Risk Management at risk.management@csusb.edu.
Employees should complete the Workers' Compensation (DWC-1) Claim Form to initiate the claims process.
Note: Employees opting to complete the DWC-1 PDF form should send the form as an encrypted email to riskmanagement@csusb.edu.
