Date of Present Issue: |
10/20/94 |
| |
Date of Previous Issues:
05/67, 11/81, 03/87 |
POLICY:
All accidents and incidents occurring on campus to students, employees, or
visitors must be reported. All injuries to employees or student employees must
be reported within 24 hours to the Employee Relations Office. All incidents,
and all accidents/injuries involving non-employees, should be reported within
24 hours to the risk manager.
Because of the familiarity with the facilities, activities, and operations
which were related to the incident, it is advantageous that the report be initiated
by the person supervising or responsible for the area in which it occurred.
If the supervisor is not available, his/her designated representative, or the
security officer on duty should immediately initiate the report. In preparing
the report, the facts should be clearly stated, generalities and opinions should
be avoided. Information provided may help other departments in preventing similar
accidents.
