ACCIDENT REPORTING PROCEDURES:
Should you be injured at work or while performing work related duties, the following requirements and restrictions will apply:
- Report your injury as soon as practical to your supervisor, but no later than the end of your work shift. Once an injury occurs, all of your actions must be designed to safely conclude your immediate tasks (if necessary) and report your injury.
- Medical treatment for your injury is the first priority and first aid measures must be applied immediately. If treatment at a medical facility is required, notify your supervisor and they will assist in providing transportation to the nearest medical center.
- Retrieve all necessary paperwork from your supervisor prior to leaving the workplace. Note: The accident reporting package contains all the necessary paperwork you will need to complete for your injury as well as important information for your health care provider and that is why it is necessary to have the package in hand, prior to leaving the workplace to seek medical treatment.
- At the medical center, have the health care provider complete the Occupational Health Assessment Form (OHAF) if your injury will require you to have modified/light duties or reduced work hours. This form will provide your employer with your functional abilities and assist them in accommodating you at work.
- Provide all completed paperwork to your supervisor the same day/next day/or before the start of your next shift, whichever is sooner. Both teaching and non-teaching staff will have paperwork to complete and return.
- Non-Teaching Staff:
- MSBA (HUB) - Employee Accident Report
- WCB workers Accident Report, & Notice of Injury (Green Card)
- Occupational Health Assessment Form
- Teachers/Consultants:
- MSBA (HUB) - Employee Accident Report
- Occupational Health Assessment Form
- Non-Teaching Staff:
Note: All non-teaching employees filing a WCB claim with their
doctor need to have reported their accident to their supervisor;
completed and returned the appropriate paperwork to their
supervisor to ensure that their claims will be initiated and that
they are appropriately paid.
6. The injured staff member requiring modified/light duties or
reduced work hours must supply their supervisor with a
completed Occupational Health Assessment Form (OHAF).
The form must indicate what your functional abilities
are so the school division can provide you with
modified/light duties/or alternate work to accommodate
your injury and prevent time loss. The form must
be supplied the same day or next day after the appointment
but no later. You are required to provide your employer
with a written update after each reassessment. If there
are no changes to your functional abilities, a doctors
note stating no change is sufficient. If your
functional abilities have changed your doctor must
complete the Occupational Health Assessment Form.
7. Once completed, all documentation (WCB Green Card, WCB
Worker Incident Report, and doctor’s notes/OHAF) must be
forwarded to the division’s Safety Officer for follow up.
Once all the paperwork has been received by the Safety
Officer, a WCB claim will be initiated for the worker.
8. The supervisor and S&H Committee worker representative
must initiate an accident investigation to determine
the cause of the incident and implement control measures
to prevent the incident from happening again. An
investigation report must be completed and forwarded
to the divisional Safety Officer.
9. The Safety Officer will initiate an investigation for any
serious injuries to ensure that control measures have been
implemented and, where appropriate, lead to changes to the
division’s safe work practices and policies. All severe
cases will be reported to the Secretary Treasurer and
to the Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources and
Policy.
10. Any issues arising out of the accident or near miss must be
discussed at the next Health and Safety Committee meeting to
ensure follow up and implementation of corrective measures
have occurred.
If you or your family is having difficulty dealing with the effects on an
injury please call the WCB Distress Line. Trained counsellors from
the Klinic Community Health Centre are available 24/7. The
service is free of charge. Phone #204-786-8175
