Breach of Duty of Care

Illness/Injury Reporting
First Report of Injury Form
The First Report of Injury form needs to be filed electronically the HR Self-Service site within 24 hours of the incident. (This form is located within Employee Self-Service under Benefits & Wellness/Workers Compensation/First Report of Injury). Any employee on campus may complete a First Report of Injury. Once the report is submitted to the UI Benefits Office, automatic e-mail notifications will be sent to the injured employee, their supervisor, and the HR Unit Representative.
Required Departmental Notifications
All work-related incidents should be reported to EHS, including those involving minor spills, fires, or injuries.
- Depending on the material involved, EHS may be required to report
the incident to regulatory bodies, as part of the regulations by which we must abide. This is a requirement and no one should fear any negative consequences from reporting incidents. Please be mindful that the University of Iowa places high importance on prompt reporting.
Immediately report any serious work-related incident to EHS (335-8501) or Human Resources (335-2676), specifically one that results in
- an
amputation,
in-patient hospitalization, loss of an eye, ordeath.
For serious work-related incidents of this nature, regulations mandate that IOSH be notified within certain time-restrictions. If the incident occurs after-hours or on a weekend, contact Department of Public Safety (335-5022) who will notify EHS after-hours emergency staff.
Incident reporting for anyone who is not a University employee: Risk Management Claims and Incident Reporting
- All incidents affecting members of the general public, students or others while on campus which you believe could reasonably result in a liability claim against the University should be reported to the Risk Management, Insurance, and Loss Prevention Department.
Investigation of the Incident
It is important that an incident investigation be conducted by department supervision as soon as possible when an employee is injured on the job. This also includes incidents that were near misses that could have caused a very serious injury. Incident investigations are fact finding, not faulting finding missions.
Following submission of the first report of injury form, the supervisor of the injured employee will receive an email with a link to a Workflow Incident Investigation form. This form should be used to investigate a work related employee injury or illness. Note that this link will partially fill out the Incident Investigation form for you with information that was submitted in the first report of injury. You will need to finish filling out the form in one session. You will not be able to save your work and return to the same form. Once completed, this form will route to the next level of supervision for their approval. You can utilize this link to a PDF incident investigation form and use it to take notes of your investigation and then transfer the information into the workflow form if you so desire. The following steps should be included in your investigation:
- Secure and Collect Evidence. When applicable secure the area where the incident occurred to preserve as much evidence as possible. Photographs, etc., can also be a very valuable aid for future reference.Identify Potential Witnesses. Determine if any employees or others saw, heard or detected anything that could contribute to the
investigation.Conduct interviews. Talk to each employee and witness separately, focusing on who, what, when, where, why, how of the incident. Ask open-ended questions to allow the person interviewed to respond openly and freely. Take written notes of responses made by individuals.Review all Data. Collect and study all data and reports that are relevant to the case looking for root causes that were
involved or contributed to the incident, including what in the management system operation failed.Prepare the Incident Investigation Form. Record only facts, not your opinions. Implement Corrective Action. Determine what corrective action is needed and implement the necessary change to prevent future incidents.Follow-up. Check back to make sure that the appropriate remedies are in place
and working as intended.
The most important part of the investigation involves identifying and implementing good corrective actions that will help prevent something similar from happening in the future. The goal is to develop processes that encourage good work habits, attitudes and management leadership.
