PEIR for Workers PEIR is the Program for Exposure Incident Reporting. It is a voluntary reporting program for employers and workers when an unplanned exposure incident occurs. An exposure incident is an unplanned exposure to a chemical, physical or an infectious substance resulting from a leak, spill, escape, explosion or direct physical contact. PEIR enables employers and workers to easily keep us informed about workplace exposure incidents. That means if you should get ill in the future, we’ll be able to more quickly process the claim. Collecting relevant information at the time of the exposure ensures a speedier claims process in the future. If you’d like to report an incident, download the Worker’s Exposure Incident Form.
