As an employee, what do I do if I am injured on the job?

Notify your supervisor immediately so your supervisor can call in the report to the Risk Management Unit of the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS). On the job injuries must be reported within 30 days or the claim may be denied. If emergency treatment is necessary, you may go to any hospital emergency room. Be sure to inform the hospital that this is a Workers’ Compensation case so they do not try to bill you under your personal health insurance plan.

Minor injuries that do not require medical attention should not be reported to DOAS.
