Reporting and Protecting Privacy

An incident can be classified as a privacy concern case and the report will replace the employee’s name with “PRIVACY CONCERN CASE”. The following are to be treated as privacy concern cases:

• An injury or illness to an intimate body part or the reproductive system
• An injury or illness resulting from a sexual assault
• Mental illness
• HIV infection
• Needle stick injuries and cuts from sharp objects that are or may be contaminated with another person’s blood or other potentially infectious material
• Other injuries or illnesses if the employee independently and voluntarily requests their name not be entered on the report
