College of Charleston employees are encouraged to report incidents of work-related injury or ill-health to Environmental Health and Safety if any of the following occur:
Non-vehicular accident or incident involving faculty, staff, students, or visitors where injury occurs (regardless of treatment or transportation) at any facility owned and/or operated by the College of Charleston.
Accidents/incidents involving vendors, contractors, or construction sites, regardless of injury or property damage.
Property damage accidents/incidents where the safety or liability conditions have changed the risk acceptability, i.e. car hits wall in parking lot, wall now looks unsafe and could fall.
Any accident or injury that occurs as a result of the participation in an event sponsored by a student, faculty, staff organization or club. Any accident or injury that occurs as a result of the participation in an event hosted or sponsored by an outside organization utilizing any College of Charleston facility.
Any incident involving a research, chemical, biological, or marine biological lab or project, regardless of location.
