All incidents must be reported to UND Office of Safety within 24 hours

Employees are required to report all incidents, including near-misses, to the Office of Safety within 24 hours (one business day). Keep in mind that incidents do not need to result in injury or property damage to be reported. In fact, near-miss/close-call incident reports are critically important in shaping the safety efforts and priorities at UND. Additionally, any workers compensation or liability insurance could be delayed or denied based on improper or delayed incident reporting.

UND’s incident reporting process allows the campus community to report incidents online. To submit an incident report, go to the Department of Public Safety webpage. Click the Forms box,  and select “Incident Reporting” for the form and instructions, as well as the required follow-up incident investigation forms.

If you seek medical attention for a workplace injury, you must contact the Office of Safety with your date of birth and social security number, as well as physician information as soon as possible. These are required in order for the Office of Safety to file a workers’ compensation claim. By not providing this critical information, your claim cannot be filed and will ultimately delay the process by Workforce Safety & Insurance to pay for medical services.

For more information, please see the UND Incident Reporting Policy.
