Injured on the Job?

If you are an Oregon HCW, PSW, or PCA and you are injured while performing your work duties, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation coverage. OHCC helps facilitate workers’ compensation claims, and SAIF is the workers’ compensation insurance carrier. 

What to Do If You’re Injured on the Job 

1. Tell your consumer/employer right away that you were injured while working.

2. Contact the OHCC Workers’ Compensation Coordinator at 888-365-0001 or 503-378-3099 (Salem).

3. Tell the representative that you are an HCW, PSW, or PCA and that you want to file a workers’ compensation claim.

4. If you seek medical treatment, tell the doctor you were hurt on the job and ask for and complete Form 827. Identify yourself as an HCW, PSW, and/or PCA on the form.

If You Cannot Reach the OHCC Workers’ Compensation Coordinator 

Call SAIF at 800-285-8525 and ask for a claim form to be sent to you. Identify yourself as an HCW, PSW, and/or PCA on the form.
