The University has a process in place, and it is the student's responsibility to officially report all accidents or work-related illness. This process complies with University and placement insurance requirements.
To report an accident or illness that occurred during placement hours, students are required to complete the steps below.
Step 1: Inform the following people of the accident
- Faculty Advisor/Supervisor at the Faculty of Education.
- Placement employer (school, practicum site supervisor)
- Faculty of Education Risk Management team at [email protected]
Step 2: Complete the uOttawa online Accident, Incident or Occupational Disease form.
Once the Office of the Chief Risk Officer (OCRO) received the form, they will assess if any additional documentation is required (e.g., WSIB, MCU, no claim, etc.). The Faculty of Education Risk Management team will support this process.
