If a Humber student is injured on campus:

• Report injury to Health Services on the day of the injury. If it is after-hours please access closest health care location if medical care is required.
• Students must notify their instructor if injury occurred in a program-related injury.

- If students report incidents to their instructor, the instructor/faculty should ensure completion of a Health and Safety Incident Report (HSIR) that will be sent to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS).

• If it is an employee, the employee should report to their supervisor, who will complete a Health and Safety Incident Report to be sent to OHS.
