Accidents at Work

Tips For Accident Prevention

• Follow all policies and procedures for the job at hand
• Use all required Personal Protective Equipment
• Report all Safety concerns, big or small, to your supervisor, the Environmental Health and Safety Department or the Accident Investigation Committee
• Protect your co-workers; if you witness someone working in an unsafe manner do not be afraid to correct them. Their error could result in your injury.

Accident Reporting

• Brochures are now available to provide guidance on the reporting of accidents.
• If an accident occurs, report it immediately to your supervisor, regardless of how big or small it may be
• Complete either the "Employee Accident Report" or the "Student and Visitor Accident Report" (CS-13) and return it to Human Resources.
• Seek medical attention if needed
