  1. Reporting and Investigation of Incidents and Injuries Part 1: Forms and process update

  2. Notify your supervisor or employer What do you do with a report of injury or near miss? OHSR 2.7

  3. Worker is Injured! • If serious injury – Call 911 immediately • If less serious, Contact First Aid: • Visit first aid station • located in every school or at the WorksYard on River Road • Report to your supervisor ASAP • Immediate correction of hazard that caused injury • Incident report and accident investigation must occur right away (RSB 44 and 46)

  4. WorkSafeBC (WCB) Requirements Reporting: Is it immediately reportable to WorkSafeBC? A serious injury or death of a worker Major structural failure or collapse of a building, bridge, tower, crane, hoist, temporary construction support system or excavation Involved the major release of a hazardous substance All medical aids or loss time injuries must be reported by the Employerwithin 3 days of injury Investigation All accidents and diseases are required to be investigated

  5. Workers’ Compensation Claims Process If an employee is injured at work or have work related illness or an incident that could have lead to serious injury/illness: completing the RSB 44 and a WCB claim will be initiated Form 7 submitted to WorkSafeBC within 3 days of injury. WorkSafeBC will contact worker and Doctor for information on injury WorkSafeBC will make decision on injury compensation based on “injury arising out of and in the course of work” Loss of wages and/or Medical costs

  6. We operate a return to work program for all WCB injuries Return-to-work programs are based on the philosophy that many injured workers can safely perform productive work during the process of recovery. Returning to work is seen as part of the therapy and recovery of the worker. Return to Work

  7. On the day of the injury/incident • Report to first aid • Employee needs to fill out 6A prior to leaving the school for the day • Admin fills out RSB 44 • Can train designate on process • Fax within 24 hours of employee report • Determine who will conduct the investigation and if the 3 day deadline is reasonable. (time extensions allowed if requested)

  8. Investigation Process – RSB 46 Purpose: Prevent future re-occurrences provide the details of the incident - where, when and how occurred, the cause(s) and corrective actions Not meant to lay blame and is not a fault finding exercise, instead serves an important role in making the workplace safer Powerful prevention tool if completed promptly, thoroughly and include a communication component as well.

  9. Who’s involved: • Investigation team – knowledgeable of the work involved, and jointly done by employer rep and worker rep • Interviews of workers and managers involved in the incident • Management – corrective action plan and implementation

  10. Closing the loop Completion of the corrective actions identified in the investigation Injured worker – injury healed, claim completed and back at work Recorded in our Incident database for future trending and preventative action
