OSSTF Concern Form.pdf  | 396.3 KB

You have a duty to report all H&S concerns to your principal and your principal has a duty to respond to your concern.  Use this form for all non-critical H&S issues and remind your principal to respond in writing.  Keep your own copy of the completed form.  Contact your H&S Officer for any critical issue, or when the administration response to your non-critical issue does not address the concern.

In every case of accident or near-miss, no matter how minor, complete the Board's "Employee Accident/Incident Report" to ensure that you are protected for any lost work days due to the accident.

Consult this "Employee Checklist - Work Related Accident" fact sheet when reporting an accident.

If you suspect you've been exposed to a dangerous substance, always complete the Board's "Employee Accident/Incident Report".  You may elect to complete the WSIB "Worker's Exposure Incident Form" below.  This form is intended for voluntary use when an unplanned workplace exposure has resulted from a leak, spill, explosion, release, or an unexpected contact with a chemical or other substance.  The completed form is sent directly to WSIB.  This form can also be completed online at the WSIB website.

- Keep your own copy of the information you send to WSIB.
- You must also complete the Board's Employee Accident/Incident Report form.
- You may be requested to submit other medical information.
