Reporting a Workers' Compensation Injury

An injury report should be filed each time anyone is hurt, no matter how minor the injury may seem and regardless of whether the employee is full-time, part-time, casual, or a student employee. An injured worker may not complete their own injury report.

The Facilities and Safety Office will be the only office permitted to file the First Report of Injury (FROI) for the College of Agricultural Sciences.
