b. Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
The University's Office of Risk Management maintains
a log of all reported occupational injuries and illnesses
that result in time loss or medical treatment beyond first
aid (Workers' Compensation claims) and prepares an annual
summary to meet the requirements of L&I. Copies of this summary
are also posted in a number of work areas on campus. For more
