Important Information Regarding Workplace Injuries and Illnesses
 
In compliance with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the UVM Department of Risk Management & Safety maintains records of all injuries and illnesses that are reported as related to work.  The University is required to summarize the total numbers of reportable incidents and the number of lost work days and restricted work days.  These incidents are categorized as injuries (those resulting from a specific incident) and other illnesses (such as those resulting from hazardous exposures).  Injuries and illness are recorded as cases involving fatalities, lost work days, or restricted work days.  The attached summary totals reflect those incidents reported throughout the calendar year 2015.
