Incident and Accident Reporting

All accidents, incidents, whether resulting in lost time or not, are reported using the Supervisor’s Report of Injury/Incident.
The Supervisor completes the report, conducts a detailed investigation, gathers witness statements, and submits the report to the District Chief.
The District Chief enters the report into Quatro Safety for authorization by the Division Chief/Platoon Chief.
Accident reports are used to identify causes of injuries or illnesses, which are grouped into people, equipment, environment, and procedures.
An online tool is available for Supervisors to identify hazards during investigations.
The Supervisor’s Report of Injury/Incident must be clear and concise, as it is used for legally required notifications to the WSIB and Joint Health & Safety Committees.
