The University of Georgia is committed to protecting the safety and health of its students, employees, visitors, and the environment. Each FMD Director has the responsibility of protecting our personnel from occupational and environmental hazards. Department supervisors are to ensure that appropriate safety equipment and personal protective equipment are properly used. Each employee is ultimately responsible for his own safety and the safety of others in their crew.
If you have a safety concern, please report it so the issue can be corrected.
To maintain a safe environment for students, employees and visitors, it is important that UGA be informed, at the earliest possible date, of any injuries that occur on its premises or to employees in the course of their work responsibilities. This policy applies to all University of Georgia Facilities Management Division (FMD) employees.

In the event of a work-related injury, the supervisor of the injured employee should submit an injury report as soon as possible after the supervisor is notified of any injury, but no later than the first working day following the injury. The supervisor must follow the workers’ compensation reporting process and should make his or her respective supervisor aware of the injury.
Work-related injuries are defined as those occurring to employees of UGA (e.g., faculty, staff and student employees) while in the course of employment as defined by workers’ compensation.
Reporting Auto Incident and Injuries
Supervisors must now report all work-related injuries and auto claims online through the ICM website by selecting “REPORT A CLAIM/INCIDENT.”
- New Procedure
- ICM has transitioned all claims reporting to a Smartsheet format, which will be used to submit claims more efficiently to the Georgia Department of Administrative Services (DOAS).
- No More Calls: Supervisors and HR liaisons don’t need to call DOAS anymore to report a claim. ICM will handle all electronic filings using information from the online injury report.
- FMD HR Role
- FMD HR will still manage processes related to employee absences and any other employee relations matters that arise.
- ICM Role
- The ICM Risk Coordinator will work with all parties involved to process claims.
The procedures for reporting workplace injuries are outlined in the Supervisors’ Guide to the Workers’ Compensation Process.
If there are any questions about the new process, please contact UGA’s worker’s compensation risk coordinator Dayna Evans at 706-542-9504 or [email protected].
