First Report of an Injury, Occupational Disease or Death
(FROI)
|
| Introduction |
BWC cares about the workers and employers in the State of Ohio, and we’re working hard to
take the mystery out of the workers’ compensation claim process. BWC realizes an
on-the-job injury can have far-reaching impacts to you and your family. That’s why we’ve
made filing a claim quick and easy. The FROI is the application used to initiate a
workers’ compensation claim, and it’s now available online. In addition to the FROI,
injured workers can complete the Authorization to Release Medical Information (C-101).
You can access that form by clicking on the link under Additional information.
In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission Children's Online Privacy Protection
Rule, BWC will not collect any information from any person under the age of 13. Please do
not submit any information to BWC if you are under the age of 13. Contact BWC with any
questions.
The FROI meets Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements and may
be used in place of the OSHA 301 to report recordable injuries and illnesses to the
federal government.
