Safe Schools & Workplace Violence Reporting

All Health & Safety reporting forms may be found in the DSBN Staff Portal under "My Applications"  "Health and Safety Schools Forms" or "Policies and Procedures". 


Health & Safety & Safe Schools Reporting

The Occupational Health & Safety Act (OHSA) applies to teachers, subject to Regulation 857, which provides that “Part V of the Act [Right to Refuse or to Stop Work where Health or Safety in Danger] does not apply to a teacher where the circumstances are such that the life, health or safety of a pupil is in imminent jeopardy.” To access the location of the form click on H&S and Safe Schools Reporting.  

 
Report Workplace Violence

It's against the law for a supervisor to instruct you to NOT report! Report incidents immediately to your supervisor and your union. In a school board, if a student as the aggressor, complete the Safe Schools Incident Reporting Form.

 Click on "Your Duty to Reportfor a list of incidents that require reporting, what every OSSTF District 22 member should know about your duty to report injuries, violent incidents, and serious student incidents.

Note that OSSTF District 22 members also have the duty to respond if they observe a student behaving in a way that is likely to have a negative impact on the school climate, unless responding would, in the member's opinion, cause immediate physical harm to himself or herself, or to that of a student or another person.
