Reporting Accidents or Injuries

All injuries, regardless of severity, must be immediately reported to the individual's supervisor so that they may help ensure appropriate medical attention is obtained and to remedy the condition or circumstances that caused the incident. The individual or supervisor should complete the Accident Report Form and submit it to Talent & Inclusion within 24 hours of the incident. If the injured individual cannot complete the accident report the supervisor must do so on their behalf. Whenever possible, supervisors shall review the details of the accident report form with the individual before it is submitted. Once submitted, Talent & Inclusion and the Office of Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) will review the accident report and may request additional information.
