Posted Feb 09. I don't think anything has changed.
Extract from a Bde Risk Management Instruction:
ACCIDENT/INCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS
18. Commanding Officers shall insure that all accident/incident are investigated and documented using the DND 663 GENERAL SAFETY HAZARDOUS OCCURRENCE INVESTIGATION REPORT (HAZOR). The DND 663 is used to identify recommendations to prevent re-occurrence and to record remedial action taken.
19. A DND 663 is completed electronically or in hardcopy, at Annex I, for the following:
a. Accident, (Non-disabling, disabling and fatality); Incident; Contamination; Ergonomic; Exposure; Hazardous Condition; Spill/Release; and Other Types: Vehicle/Equipment Accident (The DND 663 is used to capture the injury and any days lost/restricted workdays) Violent Act (injuries inflicted on purpose by another person, self-inflicted injuries, or attempted suicides) Dangerous Occurrence (a serious accident that resulted in death, fire/explosion, loss of consciousness, multiple injuries, emergency procedure, or involved a pressure vessel or elevating device.)
20. All incidents of injuries, exposure, or suspected exposure to a toxic substance will be recorded ASAP on a CF 98 REPORT ON INJURIES AND EXPOSURE TO TOXIC SUBSTANCES, at Annex J. The CF 98 is used to report these injuries, and to record evidence that will be useful should the member suffer a disability and an application is made for a pension under the Pension Act.
CF 98 REPORT OF INJURIES AND EXPOSURE
TO TOXIC SUBSTANCES Template
GENERAL
1. All incidents of injuries, exposure, or suspected exposure to a toxic substance will be recorded ASAP on a CF 98 REPORT ON INJURIES AND EXPOSURE TO TOXIC SUBSTANCES. The CF 98 is used to report these injuries, and to record evidence that will be useful should the member suffer a disability and an application is made for a pension under the Pension Act.
2. The form CF 98 is used to permanently record injuries suffered by members of the CF. While completion is often given lip-service, its importance cannot be overemphasized. No matter how minor an injury may initially appear, it must be reported. A correctly completed CF 98 supports:
a. Veterans Affairs Canada in determining entitlement to a disability
pension under the Pension Act;
b. determination of entitlement to a disability compensation (Reserve
Force);
c. Judge Advocate General in clarifying if there is a claim by or against
the Crown; or
d. the provision of useful information for the conduct of any subsequent
and more detailed investigation if required.
3. Forms should be completed in detail at the time of injury and whenever possible, must be accompanied by corroborating witness statements.
CLARIFICATION ON THE CF 98 PROCESS
4. In the event of a workplace/field/authorized sports injury, it is not enough that a supervisor completes the CF 98. A DND 663 must be completed for all accidents and incidents in accordance with the DND Safety Policy and Program.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLETION
5. The injured member’s supervisor shall initiate the completion of the CF 98 when he/she learns about the injury, an exposure or suspected exposure or when a member requests that a CF 98 be completed.
6. When a member on Temporary Duty is injured the host unit shall complete a
CF 98 and distribute the CF 98 and send an information copy to the parent unit.
7. The completed CF 98 will be forwarded to the G1, who will advise the Fmn GSO.

COMPLETING THE DND 663
4. The DND 663 form with check boxes with this annex provides reminders for the investigator (Box 1 & 6) of the type and direct causes of the hazardous occurrence. Each numbered box on the form has the panels listed in BOLD print that provide guidance to which panel screen in the HRMS system the information should be entered. Once the information is entered into the HRMS system, the DND 663 can be printed, signed and distributed.
5. It is important to have all supporting documentation, notes, diagrams, pictures, etc. placed on file with the completed DND 663 form.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLETION
6. It is the responsibility of the Supervisor to complete the DND 663 within 14 days of the reported accident or incident. In the event that the supervisor is unsure or
unaware of the proper procedure for completing the form, they must consult the UGSO for correct completion.
7. The completed DND will be forwarded to the Fmn GSO.
Note that you can type onto the attached CF 98 PDF and print off copies. It cannot be saved with typed info.
