Risk Management - Injury & Incident Reporting - Report an Automobile Accident
Extension employees should submit all automobile accident (state-owned vehicles) reports to Risk Management using an Extension-specific SharePoint workflow within 24 hours of the incident. There is additional reporting involved in automobile accidents that will need to be completed outside of this workflow.
Overview

- The report must be filed within 24 hours of the incident.
- Extension has its own workflow on SharePoint for submitting these reports directly to Risk Management.
- All state owned automobile accidents should be treated as high-risk injuries/incidents and should be reported immediately.
