Reporting an injury for an employee:  All injuries are to be reported within 24 hours of occurrence.  Below are the 2 forms which need to be completed and sent to the Benefits Office/Human Resources. 

Employee privacy:  While work related injuries do not have the same level of privacy protection, nonetheless Employee's personal information and any non-work related health issues must be protected.  This is why work related injury information is to be sent to the Benefits Office.

Student employees:  If a student is on-the-job, and suffers an injury, they are considered the same as an employee, and the same procedures are to be followed.

SUPERVISORS:  If an Employee is hospitalized, this must be reported to the Benefits Specialist, or if they are not available, to the Environmental Health & Safety Manager as soon as possible.  This must be reported to OSHA within a specified time frame.

Under no circumstances is an injured Employee to be transported by any other Employee.  Call 911.

If an employee seeks medical treatment, they must have a doctors note before returning to work.  That note is to be sent to the Benefits Office. 

Treatment options:  The injured Employee is able to seek treatment where they wish.  However, SAIF may direct the Employee to a more appropriate medical provider if further care is needed.   SOU has an arrangements with the Asante Occupational Medical Clinic in Medford for injured employees.  Note:  Unless it is an emergency, the Employee should check with their physician and make sure the physician will accept Workers Comp. claims.  Not all physicians will do this.

Payments:  Employees should not have any costs associated with treatment for a Workers Comp. injury or medications, unless SAIF denies the claim.  Delays in reporting the injury and completing the paperwork can to Employees being billed for these services.  If that happens, contact SAIF.
