It is your professional responsibility to report unsafe patient care/practice to your employer. The workload report form in itself is not a professional responsibility complaint, but the start of a paper trail to identify and demonstrate ongoing problems that will require a response by your employer. It acts as proof of your identification of patient safety issues to your manager, and provides you with documentation, should you find yourself in the unfortunate position of responding to the Complaints and Disciplines Committee at the College of Nurses.

If you feel that there has been a violation of the collective agreement, either central or local, there is a process in place to address this through the Local executive.
There are timelines that must be met so do not delay!

Any time you are off work due to an injury or illness, it is important to contact the local. Your executive will help facilitate your safe return to work by working with you and the manager to develop a return to work plan that meets your specific needs. Your executive also assists with the safe return of nurses who have been off work due to surgery or prolonged illness.
Health and safety is everyone's responsibility. If you identify a hazard, it needs to be reported. Please follow your workplace policy and procedures and reach out to your executive members for any assistance.
