The School Board directs that all reasonable efforts be made to ensure a suitable learning and working environment for the students and employees of this Corporation. To that end, and so that legitimate employee claims for worker's compensation be expedited, the Board requires that accidents be reported and evaluated. Any accident that results in an injury, however slight, to a student, an employee of the Board, or a visitor to the schools must be reported promptly and in writing to the Corporation business office. Injured persons shall be referred immediately to the appropriate personnel for such medical attention as may be needed.

The injured employee, visitor, or the staff member responsible for an injured student shall complete a form, available in the office of the principal, that includes the date, time, and place of the incident; the names of persons involved; the nature of the injury to the extent that it is known; and a description of all relevant circumstances.

Any employee of the Board who suffers a job-related injury must report the injury and its circumstances to the principal or job supervisor, as appropriate, as soon as possible following the occurrence of the injury. The failure of an employee to comply with this mandate may result in disciplinary action.

All accident reports need to be forwarded to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer within two (2) days of the accident. The Chief Financial Officer will notify the Corporation's insurer, as applicable.
