Employees must report to their manager or a member of the management team all work-related accidents, injuries, illnesses or near misses immediately following occurrence. Prompt reporting is necessary to prevent additional injury, complications, and/or lost work time. Prompt reporting also complies with the Workers’ Compensation law. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
If medical attention is necessary, the Company’s insurance carrier will provide appropriate benefits. It is essential that facts be reported and documented in a timely manner in order to maintain the employee’s rights and benefits. The employee’s manager will follow procedures to ensure prompt medical referral as necessary. Workers’ Compensation claims will be handled and/or monitored by Company-designated healthcare workers.
