All on-the-job injuries need to be reported to the Safety Office within 24 hours. This is a quick
report of any on the job employee accident where the employee may or may not require medical
attention. The employee has the option to see a doctor up to 30 days upon reporting the injury.
Should the employee need to see the doctor during this 30 day period the Safety Office needs to be
contacted before going to the doctor to fill out the proper Workers' Compensation
Forms and be directed to a facility that accepts Workers' Comp Claims unless it is
an emergency then the employee needs to go to the nearest hospital emergency room or call 911 and
have the supervisor or co-worker immediately contact the Safety Office with the emergency
information. The employee will be contacted by the Safety Office for any paperwork that will need to
be filed for Workers' Compensation as soon as the employee is able.
