Type of Occurrence:
If you selected ‘Yes’ to ‘Are you reporting an injury, illness, or exposure?’ or ‘Yes’ to ‘Are you reporting a serious injury causing bodily harm?’, you will be required to complete and submit one Injury Report or Fatality Report for each injured or fatally injured worker.

Note: This will not automatically create the Injury and Fatality Section. For that, you must complete the Persons Involved Section for all impacted individuals. 

Incident Location:
Canadian Locations: Select the country from the list, as well as the province and territory. Select the city from the ‘City/Town’ list, which will appear once the previous two fields are completed. If the city or town is not in the drop-down list, click the checkbox for City not in list and enter the city or town name.

Locations outside Canada: Select the country where the incident occurred. This will reveal a checkbox for ’Province not in list’. Click the checkbox, and type the territory, province, or state where the incident occurred. The check box ’City not in list’ will automatically be selected, please enter the city or town name.

Incident Date and Time:

Scenario 1:

  • If you selected ‘Yes’ to ‘Did this incident occur on a specific date and time?’, you must provide a date and time the incident occurred, and the date and time when it was first reported. The ‘incident occurred’ date and time that you provide cannot be a date later than the incident reported date and time.

Scenario 2:

  • If you selected ‘No’ to ‘Did this incident occur on a specific date and time?’, you must provide a date and time the symptoms first occurred, and when it was first reported. The ‘symptoms first occurred’ date and time cannot be later than the ‘incident first reported’ date and time.

Step 3 – Persons Involved
You must add at least one person to this section in order to submit your Employer’s Report of Incident. However, you are able to add as many people as required including workers, witnesses, and supervisors. If a worker was injured or fatally injured, they must be added. After the Employer’s Report of Incident is submitted, you will be directed to the Injury and Fatality Section, where you will be required to complete and submit all Injury and Fatality Reports. If no injured workers are indicated in this section, you will still be able to input Injury or Fatality Reports at a later date if more arise as a result of the incident.

Once a person has been added, if you choose to, you can Edit or Delete the person.

Click the “+” icon to add the person’s details. 

Scenario 1

If you select ‘Yes’ to ‘Was this person fatally injured?’, you will be asked to complete the remainder of the information. For the contact information, please provide an appropriate person to contact or select the box ‘I do not have contact information’. Once your Incident Report is submitted, you will need to complete a Fatality Report in the Injury and Fatality Section.

Scenario 2

If you select ‘No’ to ‘Was this person fatally injured?’, you will be asked ‘Was this person injured or exposed to a hazardous material?’. Whether you select ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, you will be required to complete the rest of the information on the form. Once your Incident Report is submitted, you will need to complete an Injury Report for any injured workers in the Injury and Fatality Section.

When you’re done, click Save.

To edit their details, click the Edit icon. To remove them from the report, click the Delete icon.

Step 5 – Review and Submit

To update any section with missing information, click on the Edit icon to return to that area and complete any required fields. In the individual sections, mandatory fields are indicated with a red asterisk (*).
