To report a work-related injury or illness, use the online Employer’s First Report (EFR) system.

EFR is an online incident management system that allows UC supervisors, administrators, and department representatives to submit, monitor, and resolve initial causes and verify that corrective actions have been taken to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

For step-by-step instructions on how to use the EFR system, please see the guides listed in the Resources section.
