NAOSH Day 1: Reporting Workplace Injuries
View in full page
When:
May 2, 2016
May 2, 2016

Humber is committed to providing a safe work environment for all staff and endeavors to reduce workplace risks that may lead to accidents and personal injury. In the unfortunate circumstance that a work related accident does occur, it is important to know how to respond. The information below outlines the first steps involved in injury treatment and reporting.

INJURY TREATMENT:

If you are injured during the course of your work, obtain medical attention through one of the following options: 

  1. Humber’s Health Centres, located in LRC 2nd Floor (North) and H206 (Lakeshore), will provide first aid treatment as well as advise whether additional assessment and treatment should be obtained from a doctor or other health care provider. 
     
  2. If you require assistance outside of Health Centre hours, or if emergency medical services (EMS) are required, contact Security at one of the numbers listed below.  Security guards are trained in first aid, and can also contact EMS if required. 

    416.675.6622 x4000 (for emergencies)
    416.675.8500 (for non-emergencies) 

    If EMS (911) has already been contacted, inform Security.  Security is best equipped to direct EMS to the location on campus where they are needed.
     
  3. Off-Campus Locations: If you are at a location where neither the Health Centre nor Security services are available, seek care from an outside provider such as a local urgent care clinic or family doctor. Obtain a doctor’s note and provide this to your supervisor. If EMS is required, call 911.

INJURY REPORTING:

All injuries which occur on Humber property or during work-related activities off-campus must be reported to your supervisor and to Health & Safety Services.

  • If you sustain a work-related injury, inform your supervisor as soon as possible.
  • Once advised of an injury, Supervisors are to complete an Accident Reporting and Investigation Form and fax it to Health & Safety Services at: 416.675.4708 within 24 hours. 
  • When notified of an injury, the Humber Health Centres and/or Humber Security will also complete reports which are sent to Health & Safety Services.
  • Health & Safety Services will, if necessary, report the injury to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).   

ONGOING COMMUNICATION

It is important to maintain ongoing communication with your supervisor, Health & Safety Services, and if necessary the WSIB, during your recovery period. For injuries of a more serious nature, Health & Safety Services will work with you, your doctor and your supervisor to ensure a safe and timely return to work. 

HR Services | Health & Safety Services

Health & Safety Services is responsible for managing WSIB claims and the Return to Work program at Humber. Questions regarding these programs can be directed to Humaira Pirooz: 416.675.6622 x4866 or humaira.pirooz@humber.ca

Thank you for reviewing this information. Tomorrow’s message will focus on Office Ergonomics in the Humber Workplace.

Change in Bridging of Partial Load Benefits During Non-Contract Periods

NOTICE - ALL PARTIAL LOAD FACULTY

Change in Bridging of Partial Load Benefits during non-contract periods

Effective April 1, 2017, bridging of Partial Load benefits will only be permitted if there is a signed written future partial load contract. 

We have been advised by the College Employer Council, that our current practice of bridging Partial Load benefits during non-contract periods is not consistent with the Academic Collective Agreement (article 26.06D) and Provincial Plan Text (section 8). As a result, we must change our practice to comply.

In working with the College Employer Council, we are providing one year’s notice of this change. 

So what does this mean to you? If your Partial Load contract ends on or before March 31, 2017 and you wish to bridge your benefits to the next semester, we will allow bridging with your intent to return as Partial Load. Effective April 1, 2017, if your Partial Load contract ends after March 31, 2017 and you wish to bridge your benefits to the next semester; you will only be able to do so with proof of a signed written future partial load contract starting within 6 months of your last contract.

In both cases, if eligible to bridge, it is still the employee’s responsibility to contact the Benefits Office to arrange payment prior to the end of the Partial Load contract. Failure to do this will result in the automatic cancellation of benefits at the end of the month in which the Partial Load contract ends. As in the past, when bridging, employees are responsible for paying 100% of benefit premiums during the non-contract period. 

If you require further information please do not hesitate to call.

Do you have students working in your school or department this summer?

Why not give them a great skill development opportunity by having them participate in the Bringing in the Bystander training. Bringing in the Bystander uses a community of responsibility model to teach bystanders how to intervene safely and effectively in cases where sexual violence may be occurring or where there may be risk. The program message is that “Everyone in the community has a role to play in ending sexual violence.”

This is a great opportunity for any student to engage in an important, CCR certified, training session as an engaged member of the Humber and Guelph-Humber community. 

If you have any interested students that would like to join the training program, please contact Kathy Donaldson at kathy.donaldson@humber.ca or 416.675.6622 x5670 by Friday, May 6, 2016.
