Please follow this step-by-step guide for reporting an accident with a fleet unit:

Step 1: As per the Highway Traffic Act (or equivalent legislation based on location), any accident that resulted in injury or death to a person or in property damage to an apparent extent of $2,000 or more must be reported to the nearest peace officer that has jurisdiction in the area in which the accident occurred.

Step 2: Report any accident involving a fleet unit, regardless of the dollar value of repair, to the unit head and/or supervisor as soon as possible.

Step 3: The operator must complete an Automobile Accident Report and send it to Enterprise Risk Management.

Step 4: The unit head/supervisor must complete an Automobile Accident Report and send it to Environmental Health and Safety immediately following notification of the accident/incident.

Step 5: The unit head/supervisor must also notify Facilities Management via fleet@mun.ca and the applicable Campus Enforcement and Patrol Office (CEP) within twenty-four hours of the accident/incident occurring.

Important information:

• Facilities Management will work with Enterprise Risk Management to assist with accident reports, inspecting the fleet unit, determining the cost of damages, and obtaining repair estimates.

• Enterprise Risk Management will coordinate with the department to arrange for the necessary repairs.

• Operators of the university fleet should be aware that when accidents are reported to the police, the report will be made available to local insurance companies. The university accepts no responsibility for the effect an accident involving a fleet unit may have on personal insurance premiums.

• Operators are personally responsible for all infractions and penalties that occur during the operation of a fleet unit while under their control and responsibility.

Please reference the Procedure for Reporting Accidents with Fleet for more information.
