First Report of Injury redaction is the removal of personal data from the initial filing a State Workers' Comp Act requires. That form opens a claim and names the hurt worker. anonym.plus marks each detail on your device, so the notice stays valid while the person behind it is shielded.
When this applies
The initial filing carries the worker, the injury, and the employer in a fixed layout. You trim the identifiers before a copy travels to a third party.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the filing in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned, faxed page.
- The tool flags the worker, the injury, and the SSN.
- Confirm each flag and keep the claim and policy numbers.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean notice locally.
What you need to provide
- The initial filing (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps fields readable).
- Optional allow-list for claim and policy numbers.

Limitations & cautions
Some fields must stay for the filing to be accepted, such as the policy number. Remove only what the carrier permits. The tool flags items; you decide what the notice must retain.
Frequently asked questions
Can I redact the SSN on this filing?
Often the carrier needs part of it. Use Mask to keep the last four digits while the rest is hidden, then confirm with your administrator.
Does a faxed copy work?
Yes. Local OCR reads a scanned fax. Verify faint pages so no field is missed.
Is the form sent to a server?
No. The app is fully offline, so the worker's data stays local until you forward it.
