Purpose of the Incident Report Form
To ensure compliance with Workplace Safety and Insurance Board and Occupational Health and Safety Act, which require
timely reporting of occupational injury or disease.
Information requested on this form will be used by Occupational Health and Wellness (OHW) for the completion of the
required WSIB Form 7 and by the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) to provide information to the Ministry of Labour, if
required.
The form also ensures the area supervisor is aware of, and has followed-up on, the incident/injury and/or property damage
that has occurred.
Separate
and confidential forms are available for submitting details of violence and harassment. This form need only
be completed with minimum details: name of affected party, supervisor, location etc.
How to Fill
Out this Form - The form has been divided into two sections.
The top section is to be filled out by or for the injured person or the person involved in a hazardous situation. Students,
visitors, and volunteers may require assistance. If the injured party is unable to fill out this section, for whatever reason, it is to
be completed by the area or staff member’s supervisor or can be initiated by a co-worker if the supervisor is unavailable. The
lower section is to be completed by the direct supervisor of the employee or of the area generating the report.
Injured Pa
rty Section

The form is to be signed by the injured party/ worker (if they are able) or by the person reporting the incident, prior to faxing

of this form. Indicate the distribution on this form.
If an employee has incurred a health care injury where professional medical attention is sought please provide them with the
Injury Package and check the box to confirm that you have done so. The Injury Package includes a letter explaining the
process, a WSIB Functional Abilities Form (FAF), and a letter for the health care practitioner. Please note that the Injury
Package should be provided at any time (even after an incident report is submitted) when an employee notifies you that he/
she will be seeking a medical professional related to a workplace incident.
The Injury Package can be found on the
OHW website

the completed FAF to OHW as soon as possible.
