Accident Reporting - Teaching Staff Injury

Teaching Staff Injury

Report your injury as soon as practical to your supervisor, but no later than the end of your work shift. The office will refer you to your admin link/supervisor to let them know of your injury.  If they are not available, proceed to the office secretary for your instructions. Complete all the accident reporting paperwork prior to leaving the building and return it to the secretary.  The school secretary will enter the accident report online.

• Teaching staff work related accidents are reported electronically via the MSBA Accident Reporting website using the Employee - Accident Incident Report Online Form.  
• Violent Incident report (if applicable) – If your injury is as a result of a violent incident, please complete the online VIR report, in eBase, as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the day. 
• In the event that an on-the-job injury requires an absence from work please contact Asst. Superintendent - Teachers.  Absences are limited to the extent of the accumulated sick leave balance at the time of the injury. However, the time absent from work is not charged against the accumulated sick leave balance.  Please use the following steps: 
  • Secretary responsible for accident reporting will contact the divisional safety officer to inform them of a possible workplace injury.  This allows the safety officer offer to provide any initial support.  
  • Absence in SmartFind (SFE) is initially coded as illness until the safety officer determines if the reported situation is a workplace injury.  
  • If the injury is determined to be a workplace injury, the safety officer will email the secretary, school administration link, payroll manager, and SFE operator (Cheryl Horn) to reclassify the illness in SFE as ‘on the job injury’.    Allocation of workplace injury leave days follows Sick Leave Article 6.5 g) of the Pembina Trails Teachers’ Association Collective Agreement. 
• If you will be seeking medical treatment for an injury or have restrictions as a result of an injury at work or at home, please have your doctor complete the Divisional Occupational Health Assessment Form and return the form to Asst. Superintendent – Teachers.  The Occupational Health Assessment Form indicates what the teacher’s functional abilities may be due to the injury and allows the Division to determine light or alternate duties to return the worker safely back to work. Forms are included in the accident reporting package and are also available on the Pembina Trails safety portal under Accident Reporting.
