Johns Hopkins University and Medicine have approved amendments to the JHU/JHM Workforce Member Work-Related Incident and Injury Reporting Policy, effective May 1.
The simplified approach is designed to ensure employees' needs are met in the event of work-related incidents and injuries, and to remove any barriers that may delay reporting and/or obtaining treatment.
Under the updated policy:
- Individuals sustaining work-related injuries may report to any participating organization occupational health/occupational injury clinic, regardless of their workplace location.
- Individuals sustaining work-related injuries will now complete a universal Employee Report of Incident form.
- Supervisor signatures are no longer required for submitting incident forms; supervisors will be notified by email if an incident is submitted for their direct reports.
Questions can be sent to Aliyah Young at aansar10@jhu.edu or Anita Stone at astone11@jhmi.edu.
