Reporting Work Related Accidents, Injuries, or Occupational Illnesses

All accidents, injuries, or work-related occupational illnesses should be reported to the employee’s supervisor immediately or within twenty-four (24) hours from the time of occurrence.

The injured employee should receive the California Workers Compensation Claim Notice (Form DWC 1), complete the required information, and return it to the employee’s supervisor. The employer is then required to complete the employer’s portion of the DWC 1 form and submit notice of the claim within one (1) working day after its receipt from the injured employee to Sedgwick, the workers’ compensation plan claim administrator and provide a copy of the completed form to the injured employee or their representative.

All supervisors and managers shall immediately report critical incidents/accidents to the employer’s human resources or risk management department. Should there be an incident that occurs after hours, you must also report the incident to Belinda Simoni, Director of Human Resources, at (818) 546-8416.
