FIRST AID - REPORTING INJURIES

The University Injury/Incident/Hazard Report Form must be completed for all injuries and the appropriate page forwarded to Health & Safety, Human Resource Services within 24 hours. If you are using the new form please remember to retain copies as appropriate.

The register is issued to FAOs and/or school secretaries. Full registers must be returned to Health & Safety and a replacement will be issued. To ensure confidentiality, the personal details section on the last page (white page) has been specially treated to not reproduce.

The green copy is to be forwarded to Health & Safety within 24 hours.
The blue copy is retained by the injured party.
The yellow copy is the school copy.
The white copy remains in the register.

If using the new Incident Report Form please remember to retain copies as appropriate.
