If you are injured on the job, it is very important that you contact Kathy Martin, Benefits Specialist, at ext. 14385 within the first 24 hours after the accident. Kathy will take about 10 minutes to ask you a few questions about the accident/injury.
Many times with a fall or a minor accident, the initial feeling is that either no injury has taken place, or the discomfort will go away in a few days. However, in some cases, you may find that by the next day, the pain has actually increased and there may be concern about more serious injuries.
Reporting accidents that expose an employee to blood or other bodily fluid is especially important. Please find a way to step away from the classroom or accident site to call the Benefits Office at your earliest opportunity.
Injured employees who need immediate medical attention may seek care from the medical provider of their choice. However, please follow up with a call to the Benefits Office within 24 hours (anyone in Human Resources can help if Kathy is not available). A voicemail message giving your name, cell phone number and a short description of your injury is always appreciated and will be followed up shortly with a return call. Of course, your supervisor will appreciate a call as well, so he/she can see how you’re doing.
Help us keep you healthy and safe! If you encounter an unsafe work site, please contact either Kathy Martin at ext. 14385 or Dustin Gean at ext. 14460.
