Injury/Illness
Reporting and Investigation
Department Safety Committees are charged with investigating all
injuries/illnesses which occur in their departments. The review of
injuries/illnesses and their investigation must be a regular agenda item
of quarterly safety meetings.
The
Department of Environmental Health & Safety maintains a database of all injuries
and illnesses reported for the campus community. Monthly summary reports are issued
to each safety committee chair for use in tracking down investigations. Safety
committees should assure that follow up occurs for corrective actions noted on
investigation forms. Safety committees must also take action with supervisors
when inappropriate employee behavior is noted, i.e. not wearing required PPE,
or on unsatisfactory investigation reports.
The
injury/illness reporting procedure is explained in the link below:
