Steps to Reporting an Incident

What should happen if a student or visitor is injured on the UofM Campus?

1. Call Police Services at 901.678.HELP (4357). They will direct emergency personnel to your location.

2. Notify UofM Language Fair Event Staff at flfair@memphis.edu.

3. Fill out a Student/Visitor Accident Report Form and submit it to both UofM Language Fair staff at flfair@memphis.edu and Environmental Health and Safety (ehs@memphis.edu) as soon as possible.

What should happen if a student or visitor has a “near miss” on the UofM Campus?

If you experience or witness an event that could have resulted in an injury or illness, but did not lead to that point, you are encouraged to report the event. Near Miss Reporting helps track unsafe acts or unsafe conditions before an injury or illness occurs. This information is used to formally document the recognition of a hazard.
