Changes to Work-Related Incident and Injury Reporting Policy now in effect

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.
