1. The Highway Traffic Act requires that an accident that results in injury or death to a person or in property damage to an apparent extent of $2,000 or more, the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident shall immediately make a written report of the accident to the nearest peace officer having jurisdiction in the area where the accident occurs. Campuses located outside of Canada must follow the equivalent legislation.

2. Any accident involving a Fleet Unit, regardless of the dollar value of repair, must be reported immediately to the Unit Head and/or supervisor. An Automobile Accident Report form must be completed by the Authorized Operator and returned to Enterprise Risk Management. The supervisor must complete an Accident/Incident Report form and forward it to Environmental Health and Safety, immediately following notification of the accident/incident. The 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. 

3. The Fleet Lead will work with the Risk Management Group to advise and assist with accident reports, inspection of the vehicle, establishing cost of damages, and obtaining repair estimates. Enterprise Risk Management will coordinate with the Operating Unit to arrange for the necessary repairs. 

4. Authorized Operators of Fleet should be aware that when accidents are reported to the police, the report will be available to local insurance companies. The implications of this will be that the driver's personal vehicle insurance premiums may be affected. The University accepts no responsibility for the effect an accident involving a Fleet Unit may have on personal insurance premiums.

5. All Authorized Operators are personally responsible for all infractions and penalties that result during the course of operating a Fleet Unit while under the Authorized Operator’s control/responsibility.
