Reporting Injuries
It is important that all injuries, incidents, or near misses that take place
on campus (and in the field) are reported to Human Resources. Incident
report forms help to identify areas that need strengthening by addressing
the root cause and identifying training/procedural needs to prevent such
injuries from recurring. Incidents can involve students, staff, faculty,
visitors, or contractors. Reporting can include a wide variety of incidents
such as injuries from slips or falls, animal bites, chemical or biological
spills/exposures, needle-stick injuries, back injuries from lifting,
carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.
For further information on incident reporting and to access the appropriate
forms, please visit http://hr.upei.ca/incident-reporting
The policy on incident reporting and worker's compensation requirements is
located on the policy website at:

EMBA graduate presents research on workplace bullying*
UPEI’s executive MBA (EMBA) program and the PEI Business Women’s
Association are partnering on an event which focuses on workplace bullying.
The presentation and networking event takes place on Wednesday, March 13,
5:00–7:00 pm in Schurman Market Square, Don and Marion McDougall Hall.
Jodi Murphy, a UPEI EMBA graduate and teacher with the Prince Edward Island
English-language School Board will share her research findings on the
current state of workplace bullying in Canada and the implications that
this issue has on organizations. Some of her findings include the costs
associated with workplace bullying, which come from loss of productivity,
legal settlements, and loss of good employees who have been bullied and
chose to leave the organization. Workplace bullying has negative effects on
the target of bullying, the other employees who witness the incidents, the
organization as a whole, and some believe there are societal consequences
as well.
Admission is free and all are welcome to attend. For more information on
the event, or UPEI’s executive MBA program, contact Grace McCourt at (902)
566-6474 or mba@upei.ca
