School of Medicine Nephropathology Laboratory: Occupational Injuries and Workplace Safety

I. Principle

Employee incident reporting is a critical element of UNC Health Care’s Hospital Epidemiology, Occupational Health, and Environmental Health and Safety/Workers’ Compensation Program.

It is essential that a good accident prevention program be in place to provide a safe and healthful work environment at UNC Health Care.
