Incident Reporting

If you are looking to report an injury or property damage that you believe York University is responsible for, click here.

Risk Management Services is responsible for managing the insurance program for York University. This responsibility also includes managing all losses and claims that may impact the University. Risk Management will notify York's insurance carriers in the event of a loss or claim.

In the event of any loss (personal injury, property damage, automobile, etc.) the department involved must:

  • File a report with the appropriate level of authority (direct supervisor, York Security Services, local police, etc.);
  • Contact Risk Management Services;
  • Make no admissions, settlements or offers, or sign any statements except as required by a police officer.

For more information, please see the Standard Operating Procedure on Incident Reporting.
