April 2009 UCOP Safety Meeting University of California Incident Reporting System Three years ago – UC System assessed how incidents were reported at UC campuses & medical centers
Need a single unified system for the entire University of California system:
Web based
Uniform terminology
Common reporting elements Three years ago, the University of California system began to assess how incidents were reported at the campuses and medical centers. It was determined that a single UC systemwide web based reporting system, with uniform terminology and common reporting elements would be the most desirable type of reporting system for the University of California system.

April 2009 UCOP Safety Meeting Web Based Incident Reporting Program Based on UC Irvine’s web based system
Allows the reporting of any incident
Access to anyone who wants to report an incident
Allowance for anonymity
Immediate notification upon submittal of an incident
No training required to report an incident A web based incident reporting program was developed based on a similar program at UC Irvine. This new web based reporting program:
Allows the reporting of any type of incident;
Allows access to anyone who wants to report an incident, and also allows for anonymity for the person (if desired);
Immediately notifies a “trained gatekeeper” of the reported incident; and
Is a simply program which does not require training prior using the web based system.A web based incident reporting program was developed based on a similar program at UC Irvine. This new web based reporting program:

April 2009 UCOP Safety Meeting Web Based Incident Reporting Program June, 2009 – Targeted pilot launch date for:
UCOP
UC Riverside
UC Irvine
Summer, 2009 -Target for system-wide roll-out Since the incident reporting system is new system. It will be pilot tested at three locations:
UCOP, UC Riverside, and UC Irvine. The target pilot launch date is June, 2009.
After the pilot test, the target date for a UC systemwide roll-out for the system is during the summer of 2009.Since the incident reporting system is new system. It will be pilot tested at three locations:

April 2009 UCOP Safety Meeting Definitions of Incident Categories Exposure – Injury/illness as a result of exposure to harmful conditions, chemicals, airborne particulates, temperature extremes, etc.
Injury – Physical harm or damage to the body
Illness – Acute or chronic illness or disease caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion, or direct contact Exposure – An incident which a person suffers injury or illness as a result of exposure to harmful conditions such as toxic fumes, vapors, gases, or airborne particles; temperature extremes, oxygen deficiency; radioactivity; or intense light
Injury - Physical harm or damage to the body resulting from an exchange, usually acute of mechanical, chemical, thermal, or other environmental energy that exceeds the body’s tolerance
Illness – Any abnormal condition or disorder, other than one resulting from an occupational injury, caused by exposure to environmental factors associated with employment. It includes acute & chronic illnesses or diseases that may be caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion, or direct contact.

April 2009 UCOP Safety Meeting Definitions of Incident Categories Near Miss – No property damage or personal injury, but given a slight shift in time or position, damage and/or injury could have occurred
Safety Concern – Concerns regarding hazards in the workplace or on a campus
Vehicle Collision – Event involving a motor vehicle in transport
Near Miss – Incidents where no property was damaged and no personal injury sustained, but where given a slight shift in time or position, damage and/or injury easily could have occurred
Safety concern – Individual concern regarding hazards in the workplace or on a campus
Vehicle collision – An unstabilized situation that includes at least one harmful event (injury or property damage) involving a motor vehicle in transport (in motion, in readiness for motion, or on a roadway), but not parked in a designated parking area) that does not result from discharge of a firearm or explosive device and does not directly result from a cataclysm.

April 2009 UCOP Safety Meeting Definitions of Incident Categories Property Damage – Undesired event that results in property damage
Release to the Environment – Spill, leak, or discharge to the environment (groundwater, soil, or air)
These 2 categories are most likely to be reported by a campus or medical center Property Damage – Undesired event that results in property damage.
Release to the Environment – Spill, leak, discharge to the environment (e.g. groundwater, soil, or air).
These 2 categories are highly unlikely to be reported at UCOP - Most likely they would be reported at a campus or medical center.Property Damage – Undesired event that results in property damage.

April 2009 UCOP Safety Meeting Online Incident Reporting Process Reported event will flow through a trained “gatekeeper”
Validate category & basic information
Each category - Automatically notifies the selected designated program
Facilitate quicker response time
Eliminate duplicate reporting/handling/input
What is the process once and incident is reported on the new web based system?
Once reported, the reported incident will flow through a trained gatekeeper. The gatekeeper will validate the category and ensure the basic information reported is complete. The UCOP gatekeepers will be Larry Wong and Ed Baylosis, [Office of Risk Services, Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S)].
Once the reported incident is validated, each category would then be automatically forwarded to selected designated programs at UCOP. This would facilitate a quicker response time and eliminate duplicate reporting, handling, and input. What is the process once and incident is reported on the new web based system?

April 2009 UCOP Safety Meeting Why Should You Report Prevention – Raises safety awareness
Tracking – Able to associate activities with other incidents
Correction – Receive technical assistance
Claims Management – Provides better & timely documents which results in better management of claims
Regulatory Requirement – Reporting may be required by a regulatory agency (Cal/OSHA, Cal/EPA, Bay Area Air Quality Management, etc. Why should you report an incident? - There are several reasons for reporting incidents:
? Raises safety awareness and results in prevention of injuries and illnesses.
? Allows UC to track the incidents and associate activities related to other incidents.
? Allows you to received technical assistance to address safety concerns
? Allows UC to manage its claims by providing better and timely submittal of documents. This results in better management of claims
? There may also be a regulatory reporting requirement by regulatory agencies such as Cal/OSHA, Cal/EPA, Bay Area Air Quality Management District, etc.
