Incident Reporting/Investigation
Prevention of injuries and illnesses to Kent State University personnel, students, and visitors are the primary concerns of the Occupational Health and Safety office. The identification, evaluation and elimination of hazards provide the best methods of reducing incidents that may cause injuries and/or illnesses.
If a safety concern or hazard is encountered, notify your immediate supervisor. If the hazard is not resolved, please call the office of Occupational Health and Safety and speak to Dennis Baden at (330) 672-1950.
In the event that an injury or illness occurs as a result of performing normal job responsibilities, an “Employee Report of Injury or Occupational Illness” form must be completed by the injured employee. The employee’s immediate supervisor must complete the accompanying “Statement of Supervisor" report prior to sending both reports to the Occupational Health and Safety office. Upon receipt of these incident reports, a follow-up investigation will be initiated by a safety officer from Occupational Health and Safety.
Please contact Occupational Health and Safety at (330) 672-1950 or dbaden@kent.edu to request services or
additional information.
