University of Rochester
Employee Incident Reporting System
Using this system employees and supervisors can report:
- work-related employee injuries and illnesses
- near-miss incidents/hazards (An unplanned event that did not result in injury, illness, or damage - but had the potential to do so)
- or request ergonomic assessments for computer workstations!
NOTE: This is for reporting employee related incidents only. All patient or visitor incidents or misadminstrations should be reported through the Medical Center's Event Reporting System - RL Solutions - https://sites.mc.rochester.edu/urmc-operations/quality-institute/healthcare-safety/event-reporting-system/. Please be sure you are using the right system to submit your report.
When a work-related incident, injury or illness occurs, or you witness/are involved in a near-miss incident, please document the event by logging into the system using the link below. All events need to be documented within 24 hours of the occurrence. Upon submission of the report, Leave Administration, Environmental Health & Safety, and the employee's immediate supervisor will be notified via email. All blood exposure needlesticks incidents (or injuries) should be reported the Blood exposure hotline at 275-1164 as well as through this on-line reporting system.
