A brief description of the methodology used to track and calculate the number of recordable incidents of work-related injury or ill health :
Injury statistics are collected and monitored through injury reporting procedures and protocols. We have an online reporting tool, and email process. Once a report is received, the information is reviewed. Then, if needed, follow-up forms and /or information is collected if required, and the data is entered into the tracking database. We track employees by group (Union, Admin and Faculty); as well as students and visitors/contractors. We track injury type, mechanism, location, department, and lost time/days.
