Procedures In The Event Of A Student Injury On A Work-Based Learning Placement

1. Get medical attention if required. The employer should provide appropriate first aid and arrange immediate transportation so the worker can receive appropriate treatment from a qualified health care professional.
2. Have your healthcare provider report to the Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB). Note: the WCB forms provided below have been amended to reflect the unique nature of student work placements. Please use these forms in the event of an injury to a student.
3. Complete the E1 Form provided by Saskatchewan Advanced Education and Employment

   a) Report the incident to the employer at the work placement and the school-based work placement coordinator immediately.
   b) The Employer's Initial Report of Injury (E1) must be submitted to Saskatchewan Advanced Education and Employment within three days. This form should be completed by the institution’s/community-based organization’s work based learning coordinator in consultation with the employer. The E1 form, along with the completed Schedule B, the Work-based Learning Consent and Agreement form, must be faxed to the Coordinator at Saskatchewan Advanced Education and Employment (306-787-7182). Saskatchewan Advanced Education and Employment will submit the form to WCB.

   i. Section A – The workplace employer’s name, address, and postal code should be entered above Saskatchewan Advanced Education and Employment address, and fields on the right side should be filled in with the workplace employer’s information.
   ii. Complete all other sections.
   iii. The E1 form should be signed by the institution’s/community-based organization’s work placement coordinator.

   c) This should be done regardless of whether there are lost wages as a result of the
      accident or not. (Loss of wages may occur in those cases where the student has a job
       but will have to miss work due to the injury during their work placement.)
