FSM's shall update the SIRS on-line spreadsheet monthly or as
needed, for compilation and analysis.
This system is designed to track all Safety Incidents occurring
to NOAA employees.
All reportable incidents occurring since 10-01-01 shall be entered
into SIRS.
Beginning in June 01, 2002 all incidents with Case Types 1, 2, and 3 shall
be included, if information is available.

those where employees are injured or have a work related illness
that results in worker compensation forms CA-1 or 2, to be completed,
it will also track the following classes as follows:
