Injury Reporting by the Employee

When an on-the-job accident occurs, whether or not medical treatment is sought, the employee must report it immediately to the supervisor. If medical treatment is necessary, the employee will notify the supervisor prior to leaving work, except under absolute emergency conditions. Employees shall tell the medical provider this is an on-the-job accident and advise that all billings are to be sent to the Human Resources Department. As soon as possible following an accident, Human Resources is to be notified. The Risk Manager must personally contact the injured worker, Supervisor, department head and possibly the doctor depending upon the severity of the accident. The Risk Manager will give the required Forms to the worker. All workers’ compensation claims are to be reported to, and filed with, the Workers’ Compensation carrier.
