The eSafety program is changing to better serve firefighters, fire support personnel and leadership. The changes will enhance the understanding of fire and all-risk-related injuries by providing trends related to injuries and hazards. This will allow those in fire to better understand the risks encountered by employees engaged in wildfires, prescribed fires and all-risk incidents. Information provided is not transmitted to the Department of Labor as part of the CA-1 or CA-2 process for workers’ compensation.    

What information is collected?

The 2021 Eicks Smokejumper Fatality Organizational Report highlighted the need for robust, consistent and real-time firefighter injury datasets. Ten fire and all-risk-related data inputs can be submitted by the employee, supervisor and safety manager as part of the normal incident or injury reporting process in eSafety. These questions ask for information about fire-related injuries such as medical transport method, location of injury, and work activity being performed during the incident. The questions should be answered for any employee injured while engaged in fire, fire support, and all-risk activities.

How to submit information

To file a fire and all-risk-related injury report, log into eSafety using ConnectHR and follow the normal injury reporting process. Individuals submitting an injury report will be prompted to answer the fire-related questions while submitting an eSafety report.
