Incident Reporting & Risk Assessment

General Incidents & Near-Misses Procedures

  1. Obtain first aid or medical attention for injuries. Mitigate immediate hazards or evacuate the area if hazards cannot be managed.
  2. If possible, secure the incident site or take pictures for the follow up investigation.
  3. Inform your supervisor.
  4. Submit an incident report in the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Health & Safety Reporting System. You can initiate an incident report as the individual directly involved in the incident, as a supervisor or as a witness to the incident. Incidents should be reported as soon as practical.
  5. For incidents involving staff requiring a visit to the doctor or resulting in missed time from work, the worker's Supervisor will be notified and the system will forward the report to the Wellness & Recovery Office for follow-up and submission of the WorkSafeBC Form 7.
  6. For incidents involving staff, a preliminary incident report to WorkSafe BC within 48 hours of the incident occurring. 

Serious Incidents 

In emergency or life-threatening situations, call 911 or campus security at 778-782-4500. If you place a call to 911 from a campus phone, campus security will be automatically notified of the call location.

Serious incidents must be immediately reported to WorkSafeBC. As such, EHS should be contacted as soon as possible after the incident occurs. Those involved in the incident can take steps to ensure their safety (i.e.: seeking medical attention or evacuating the area) prior to calling EHS.   

Contact EHS by phone 778-782-7264 during weekday working hours. If no response or if it is after hours, call Burnaby Campus Security at 778-782-4500 and ask for EHS to be contacted.
