Employee Accident Reporting - Quick and Easy Instructions

Please follow these instructions:

  • Log into your own personal First Class account. You CANNOT use someone else's login to report your injury.
  • If you do not have or do not know your LOG IN information for First Class you can call ITS Support and request that information, ext. 287070 or 519-754-0696
  1. Double click on GEDSB information central.
  2. Double click on health and safety.
  3. Double click on injury/incident reporting. A new window will open.
  4. Click on the Injury/Disease Incident Report to open the form.
  • You can now use the drop down menus and keyboard to complete the information required by the various fields of the report.
  • You will continue through the report to fill in all the boxes with information. Remember that when choosing what and where the injury was you can choose multiple injuries. To choose each injury you must click on the appropriate response and then click on "SELECT" you will notice that the items selected are listed under the drop down box.
  • Keep continuing to fill out the form and ensure that you make note of if First Aid or Medical attention was or will be sought for the incident.
  • When you have completed all the boxes of the form you must click on "SUBMIT" for the form to be generated into a record.

Waiting for Report to Submit

  • Once you click on submit a screen will come up, showing a green box over your report stating "Submitting Report Please Wait". This box may disappear quickly. Please note that it may take a few seconds to see this screen, please do not exit out of the form. If you close the form at this time your report will not be generated.
  • Once the form has been submitted you will see a confirmation screen. If you do not see this screen then your report has failed to be generated to the system. It is important that you wait for this message to appear. If you exit out of the form or the program before this message appears then your report will not be generated.

Email confirmation of Submitted Information

  • After you receive this confirmation the window will close. You will then receive a new email in your Mailbox that lists the information you just reported.
  • At this time you can print off the information if you wish to keep a hard copy of the details of the report which you filed, or just save the email.
  • Your Supervisor will be receiving an email notification that an Injury/Incident/Disease Form has been filed by you and direct them to their portion of the report that needs to be filled out.
  • Upon the completion and submission of their portion of the report, you will receive an email to confirm that they have done this.

If you encounter any difficulty completing the report, contact the Human Resources Admin Assistant 519-756-6301, ext. 281125 or the Health and Safety Officer Lena Latreille 519-756-6301 ext. 281136 or for assistance. In the event that First Class is not accessible, you can complete a paper copy - Employee Report of Injury/Disease/Incident form.

  • The use of this on line form does not negate you from verbally informing your supervisor of the incident.
  • We encourage everyone to use the online form, but the paper copy will still be accepted.
  • You must also access First Class through the client NOT through the www.granderie.ca website.

Important Note: If you submit an incident report noting that you have not sought medical attention or incurred lost time, and that changes, let your supervisor know immediately and let either Lena or the HR Assistant know as well. Once medical attention is sought, or lost time occurs as a result of an injury, Human Resources needs to submit paperwork to WSIB within 72 hours of the supervisor becoming aware of it.
