A brief description of the methodology used to track and calculate the number of recordable incidents of work-related injury or ill health :

Employees are required to report a work-related injury or illness to their supervisor. The
supervisor then completes a form named: Employer’s Report of Occupational Injury or
Illness. Once completed it’s submitted to University Personnel who submits it to

Sedgwick, our worker’s compensation provider. If the injury meets the definition of a
recordable, Sedgwick logs it on our OSHA 300 log.


Annual number of recordable incidents of work-related injury or ill health per 100 FTE employees:
