Injury Reporting
If medical treatment is necessary, the departmental supervisor must report the injury/illness to the State Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) by calling 877-656-7475 within 24 hours of the injury. The injury/illness must also be documented using the Georgia Tech Injury/Illness Reporting Form through the EHS website using the appropriate login credentials.
Note: Claims may only be reported by a supervisor/Human Resources representative. Employees cannot call in their own claims.
Good Catch Program
Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to report conditions that they believe could have resulted in more serious consequences so proper actions can be implemented to prevent future injuries or property damage. Keep others safe by reporting a “Good Catch!”
