Placement Injury & Accident Reporting
The government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU), reimburses WSIB for the cost of benefits it pays to Student Trainees enrolled in an approved program at a Training Agency (university). Ontario students are eligible for Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB) coverage while on placements that are required by their program of study. MTCU also provides private insurance to students should their unpaid placement required by their program of study take place with an employer who is not covered under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act.
Injury & Incident Reporting
In the event of an injury/incident while attending a practice placement, the student must:
- Notify their clinical instructor or preceptor and receive first aid treatment
- Complete required reporting documentation for their placement site
- With assistance of their clinical instructor, clinical advisor, and/or preceptor, within 24 hours of the incident, complete the Western Student Placement Accident/Incident Report Form and email it to nursing-incidents@uwo.ca
