Medical Emergency or Accident

Responding to injuries

If any situation appears to be a medical emergency, contact University Police at (111) to get help immediately.
In the event of an accident involving injury or illness:
- If life threatening, seek emergency medical treatment.
- Notify University Police at (111). Stay on the phone until instructed to hang up.
- Be prepared to give as much information as possible, such as location, nature of injury, cause of injury and any hazards that may be present.
- Employees must notify their immediate supervisor as quickly as possible of any on-the-job injury or illness. If it is not an emergency, the supervisor should be notified BEFORE the employee seeks medical treatment.

Injury reporting

After the emergency has ended, employees, students, or visitors must file Accident Form (CS-13). This form must be completed by either University Police or Environmental Health & Safety. The employee must call the “Accident Reporting System (ARS) at 1-888-800-0029.
If injuries which are so slight that in the judgment of the employee, it is not necessary to report to a hospital, or to a private physician, but for which some kind of first aid was rendered, you must file an Appendix I Report. This form is available from your supervisor, University Police or Environmental Health & Safety.

Hazard reporting

Spilled liquids and wet floors are on the major causes of slips, trips and falls.
- If you spill something, please clean it up immediately
- If you discover a spill or wet floor and need assistance, contact Facilities at 792-7456 (weekdays 8am – 4pm) or University Police at 792-7222 (evenings, weekends and holidays).

Report all other hazards (malfunctioning equipment, holes in the sidewalk, loose carpet, etc.) to facilities immediately.
