Infection Control & WSIB

Infection Control Requirements

All students are required to review infection control policies and protocols of the clinical facility prior to each practicum. In addition, all students must review infection control theory and principles as taught in the curriculum each semester.

Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)

The government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU), provides Ontario students with Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB) coverage while on placements. All students are required to sign a Declaration of Understanding of WSIB Coverage. The Declaration forms are available in the Clinical Practicum Office (GH1110). All signed forms will be kept on file in the Clinical Practicum Office. Any accidents or injuries must be reported to the Clinical Supervisor and the Clinical Coordinator as soon as possible. Clinical Supervisors and students are required to complete the placement agency and Seneca College’s incident report.
