Threat, Hazard and Accident Reporting Guide
Loyola University is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all its employees, students and visitors. To help meet this commitment, the University has developed this threat and hazard reporting guide. It is intended to encourage effective communication of safety and security threats and hazards. Loyola will endeavor to fully investigate and correct situations which pose any threat. If you have any questions about how to report a situation, please contact Risk Management.
Emergencies
In certain circumstances, a member of the University community may observe, or be
subject to, unsafe, hazardous or threatening situations.

and procedures for reporting are available at the following link: http://www.loyno.edu/provost/sexualharassmentpolicy.html
Workplace Violence
Incidents or situations which could involve violence on the campus must be reported
immediately the University Police or Human Resources. The University has established
a Threat Assessment Team which convenes any time there is a reported perceived
or potential threat to someone within the University Community.
Vehicle Accidents
Any vehicle accident occurring on campus should be reported immediately to University
Police. Accidents occurring off campus involving Loyola’s vehicles have
specific reporting requirements which can be found at: http://www.loyno.edu/riskmanagement/policy804.html
Employee Accidents
Employees who are involved in accidents while working at Loyola should report the
accident immediately to their supervisor and should seek appropriate medical
attention. Employees must complete an accident report in Student Health Services
regardless of where they seek medical attention. For more information, please
see: http://www.loyno.edu/riskmanagement/occinj.html
Other Unsafe or Hazardous Conditions or Situations
Situations may arise which do not pose a direct or immediate threat of harm, or
may not fit into any of the categories above. In many of these cases, Loyola
should still be made aware of the situation so that corrective measures can be
taken to prevent possible harm. As a member of this community, it is your responsibility
to help us by reporting such situations.
Please use the online Hazard/Threat Reporting Form to report such situations or conditions or call the Risk Management office 504 865-3141.
