Accident/Injury/Illness Reporting

All incidents involving an injury or illness that occurs to an individual on any university owned or leased property or that occurs during a university sponsored activity, regardless of location, must be reported to the Department of Environmental Health and Safety. Wright Way Policy 6032 (Reporting Injuries and Illnesses) provides complete instructions for filing a report.

What to do. . .medical emergency

if you or someone in your office experiences a medical emergency, call 911 on a campus phone (or 775-2111) immediately. University Police will assess the situation and provide required services.

Unless you are properly trained, do not try to render any first aid or use CPR before trained assistance arrives.  If you are trained in CPR and the victim has no pulse and is not breathing, use CPR on the victim. If trained in first aid, use pressure to stop bleeding. Do not move a victim unless safety dictates.  (Adapted from the WSU Police Deptartment's Campus Emergency Guide at www.wright.edu/police/emergencyguide.pdf (548KB PDF)
