INJURY AND ILLNESS MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING

SRJC has specific procedures in place for managing the safety and well-being of all district employees, students and visitors in the event you experience an injury or illness on any SRJC owned or leased location.

Students, Visitors and District Employees who experience or witness an injury or illness on District Property, or at a District-Sponsored event, should complete an Incident Report Form (Incident Form) as soon as practical. To complete the ACCIDENT AND ILLNESS OR INJURY REPORTING FORM please click here.

OSHA defines a near miss as an incident in which no property was damaged and no personal injury was sustained, but where, given a slight shift in time or position, damage or injury easily could have occurred.

SRJC employees include: Management, Classified Staff, Faculty, STNCs, Professional Experts, Student Employees, Volunteers, and any Health Occupations Students injured at clinical sites (outside of the classroom).
