New vehicle accident reporting procedures

Washington State’s Office of Risk Management now requires use of their on-line State Employee Vehicle Collision Report Form (SF137).  Link to this form is:  https://etort.des.wa.gov/incidentreport.  Use of this form is effective from here forward.

Please continue to stock the paper version of the SF137 in your vehicle glove boxes. Drivers can use this form as a template for capturing necessary information, as the automated report  requires the same data.

Drivers are required to print a PDF copy of the report and provide it to their supervisor.  Supervisors will forward a copy to the WSU Office of Risk Management Services via email.

The State’s Administrative and Accounting Manual, Chapter 12, Transportation, and WSU Safety Policies and Procedure Manual 7.20, Motor Vehicle Accidents, requires all traffic accidents be reported within 48 hours, regardless of how minor.

If you have any questions about these procedures, or the form, please contact:

Pam Merryweather
WSU Office of Risk Management Services
(509) 335-3682, pamerrywx@wsu.edu
