Workers' Compensation is a system of state regulated benefits designed to help employees who become ill or injured on the job. These state benefits provide a means of income by replacing a portion of the injured worker lost earnings.  Worker’s Compensation falls under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.
Know that there are 3 simple steps for reporting an injury or illness at DTI:

FIRST
All accidents or illnesses requiring more than general First-Aid MUST be reported within 24 hours as a Workers Compensation Claim.  There are two (2) ways you can report a claim.

1) Call the 800# listed below, and the Carrier will walk you through the information they need. Everything can be handled over the phone and you do not need to submit any forms.  Report Claim: 1-800-832-7839, OR 
2) ONLINE USING: HTTPS://CLCLAIMREPORTING.TRAVELERS.COM/CLRPT/LOGONAGENT.ASP
At the end of reporting a claim, ask for the CLAIM NUMBER and which office the claim will be handled through so that if you need to follow-up, you will have a record.

SECOND
The HR department must be notified of every work related accident, death or illness within 24 hours and all related paperwork must be sent to HR.  Please provide your HR contact with the claim number and Travelers claims adjuster, if given.   

THIRD
OSHA must be called at 1-800-321-6742 within 8 hours of an employee’s work related death OR if three or more employees are sent to the hospital for work related injuries in one day. (California requires only one employee being admitted to the hospital.)
