The Automated Incident Reporting System (AIRS) is Smithsonian's automated system for reporting on-the-job injuries, occupational illnesses, and near miss events. AIRS is a module of the HRMS that generates the SI 2120 (SI Occupational Injury and Illness Report), Near Miss Report, and the two DOL "first report" forms - CA-1 (Federal Employees Notice of Traumatic Injury and Claim for Continuation of Pay/Compensation) and CA-2 (Notice of Occupational Disease and Claim for Compensation). AIRS is designed to provide Supervisors and Safety Coordinators with an easier and less time-consuming reporting process. AIRS links directly to the Department of Labor's Office of Workers Compensation Program (OWCP) providing a faster, more efficient workers compensation claims benefit process.

To determine course of action after an injury occurs follow the link to the SI Injury and Illness Reporting Flow Chart

If possible, please fill out the following forms prior to sending an injured person to Urgent Care or the Emergency Room. If this is not possible due to the nature of the injury ensure these documents are provided to the Health Care facility within 48 hours of treatment.

OWCP 1500 CA-16
