A brief description of when and why the workplace health and safety baseline was adopted (e.g. in sustainability plans and policies or in the context of other reporting obligations):
In 2011, the Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHSO) and the University Health Services started using data we collected for tracking workplace injuries and illnesses. In the past we used figures provided by the University’s Worker Compensation group. Worker’s Comp did not track injuries and illnesses In a way that the figures could be reported to Illinois Department of Labor. Data before 2011 could not be used to compare UIC to other universities.
