1.41 Employee Injury (Level 4)

1. 1.41 Employee Injury

An injury, no matter how slight, incurred by an employee while on duty, must be reported to RCC, the Window Dispatcher or immediate supervisor, immediately. If unable to contact due to unforeseen circumstances, the report must be done as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the shift in which the injury occurred. An Accident/Incident – Employee's Initial Report and an Employee Notice of Injury/Illness must be filled out.

Employees must contact the Risk Management department immediately during normal business hours. Risk Management will provide a list of HRT physicians if the employee is in need of medical attention. For an injury occurring after business hours, contact the Risk Management department on the next business day, regardless of off-days or approved absences.

The intent of the Workers' Compensation Program is to enable an employee to recover from their injury and return to work at 100% capacity. Employees are expected to adhere to the rules of the program; the recommendations of the panel physician; and the light duty work (if referred to do so). While being treated in the Workers' Compensation Program employees are expected to adhere to all directions from the treating physician and from Risk Management.
