REPORTING OF ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS  
 

Accident Reporting

 
  The University requires that all accidents involving injury are formally reported within 48 hours on the standard OSU accident/illness form. The completed form should be handed-in to Joey Carson in the main office (GILB 153) for forwarding to the Department of Human Resources. If a worker's compensation claim is to be pursued, form SAIF 801 must also be completed and filed with the accident report form (important if medical services are rendered).

  Incident and Unsafe Working Practice Reporting  
 

To better inform safety policy within the Department of Chemistry, and to identify individuals flagrantly disregarding safety rules, the safety committee encourages the reporting of all potentially dangerous incidents occurring in connection to any research or teaching activity. Likewise, ongoing working practices which in your opinion constitute a safety hazard should be reported immediately to the safety committee. The nature of the incident/unsafe activity should be described in written form and sent via e-mail to a relevant member of the safety committee (alternatively, if anonymity is required, a hard-copy of the account may be forwarded to a committee member via their mail slot).
