Risk Management - Injury & Incident Reporting - What are High-Risk Incidents?

A high-risk incident poses a serious risk to an Extension Volunteer(s), Extension Program Participant(s), or third party and requires submitting a report to Risk Management.

Examples of High-Risk Incidents

  • Injury of employee, volunteer, participant, or third party that requires professional medical attention.
  • A threat of serious harm to self or others.
  • Anything requiring intervention by police (e.g. missing child, safety concerns).
  • Hazardous materials exposure or spills.
  • Termination or withdrawal of a volunteer, participant, or third party with potential intersections with civil rights, e.g. concerns regarding discrimination.
  • Critical staff errors, such as incorrect administration of medication, or an injury caused by a staff person.
  • Concerns for possible claims of negligence or liability. 
  • Vehicle accidents with personally-owned or rental vehicles on official UW business.
