Public Sector Employee Safety

​The Division of Industry Services (DIS) establishes and enforce occupational safety and health standards for public sector employees. Consultation and inspections are provided by DIS Occupation Safety and Health staff. Wisconsin's Clean Indoor Air Act and the Right to Know Law, which provide information to employees concerning workplace conditions, are administered by DIS.

DIS is providing guidance for the care and handling of formaldehyde by public employees. Please see the Formaldehyde Standard Requirements document, which is also located in the Publications section below.

Questions regarding the Public Sector Safety program can be sent to DSPSSBSafetyAndHealthTech@Wisconsin.gov.

Department of Workforce Development - Process for Handling Work Injuries & Illness

*New Online Reporting for Injury and Illness Forms*

The Department of Safety and Professional Services is excited to announce a new online injury and illness reporting system. This online system allows public employers to submit their yearly injury and illness summary through the internet. The State of Wisconsin requires that by March 1st of every year, all public employers submit a summary of their previous year's injuries and illnesses. This summary was previously submitted on form SBD-10710.

Public Sector Employers: Please visit the DSPS Electronic Safety and Licensing Application (eSLA) to enter, review, and submit your previous year's injury and illness summary. After submitting your information, you will receive a confirmation email which contains a printable version of the injury and illness summary which must be posted in your workplace from February 1st​ through April 30th.

If you do not have a UserID and Password for the DSPS Electronic Safety and Licensing Application, contact your county Public Sector Safety Inspector noted on the Inspection District Map located on the right side menu of this page.
