If medical treatment is necessary, the departmental supervisor must report the injury/illness to the State Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) by calling the hotline within 24 hours of the injury. All occupational injuries are reviewed to ensure that they are categorized appropriately according to OSHA guidelines.
