    • If you work for an agency that reports an injury, illness or near miss using the Workday system, logon to Workday. Select Report a Safety Incident within the Workday Safety application. 

    • If your agency has not established an injury, illness or near miss reporting process or you are unaware of the process, please click on this hyperlink.  Select Submit a New Risk Management Request, fill-in the fields on the form and select  Out-of-State Safety Incident Report under the Type of Request drop down menu, then submit the form.
