In the Event of an Injury while on Placement – The Placement Site
In the event that a Student incurs a workplace injury or illness while in the course of the Placement, the Placement Site will immediately notify the University’s Placement Coordinator and will work with the University to complete the appropriate WSIB (or Chubb Insurance) claim form(s).
The Placement Employer has three days to notify the University after learning of any incident that occurs during the student placement. Please contact rss.slpclined@utoronto.ca and cc the UofT course instructor. You will be requested to complete the H2.1 Letter of Authorization to Represent Employer, a claim form (as per the Guidelines for Workplace Insurance for Postsecondary Students of Publicly Assisted Institutions on Unpaid Work Placements) and an accident report (H2.2 U of T Accident Report). The three completed forms will then be submitted to placements@utoronto.ca.
