A brief description of the methodology used to track and calculate the number of recordable incidents of work-related injury or ill health :
If an employee suffers a work-related injury or becomes ill due to working on campus they are expected to immediately report the incident to their supervisor and/or Human Resources immediately. If the supervisor receives the report, the supervisor must immediately contact Human Resources. The form to fill out can be found here: https://www.hws.edu/offices/hr/Safety%20Programs/HWS_accident_injury_report.pdf
Human Resource will then work with Campus Safety and the HWS Safety Committee to review the cause of the accident an implement any improvements to prevent it from happening in the future. All incidents are tracked and recorded by Human Resource for reporting.
