ACCIDENT PROCESSING STEPS

Use this screen to define the internal procedure to be followed when recording and reporting work-related injuries and illnesses. This table contains the codes and related descriptions for each step that must be followed when recording and reporting work-related injuries/illnesses. You can then further define the processing steps by selecting whether they are required by workers' compensation, OSHA, both, or none.

At a minimum, you should enter all of the accident-processing steps and descriptions that are required by workers' compensation and OSHA before going to the next screen. You can add to this table any time and establish an unlimited number of codes and descriptions.
