Why should you fill out a WMU Accident/Injury 311 Report?
An investigation of the accident or injury and completion of the 311 form by the supervisor with the injured employee, visitor, or student is an important tool for the university to determine possible causes of the accident and the measures to prevent a reoccurrence of a similar accident or injury.
The information on these forms is used to track accident trends, to determine if equipment or facilities need repairs, to establish worker’s compensation benefits, and to determine the safety training need for our university community.
