A brief description of when and why the workplace health and safety baseline was adopted (e.g. in sustainability plans and policies or in the context of other reporting obligations):
2009 is the year RIT established a formal RIT Safety Management Team that reviews/tracks the injuries/illnesses for the three largest departments: Facilities Management Services, Dining Services, and Housing. In 2009, RIT started to collect and track reliable injury and illness data via a comprehensive worker compensation form that is completed for all occupational injuries and illness. Extensive training was provided to supervisors on the worker compensation process/completion of the forms.
Percentage reduction in workplace injuries and occupational disease cases per FTE employee from baseline:
