Injury Responsibilities for Supervisors
Workers’ Compensation Checklist: http://hr.ucf.edu/files/WorkersCompensationEEDeptChecklist.pdf
When an employee is injured while under your employment, it is the responsibility of the supervisor to respond and report (this has possible Workers’ Compensation implications). This includes student and contracted employees. If the employee was involved in an automobile accident while within the scope of their work, then a separate automobile accident report needs to be filed.
Even if the injury does not seem severe, it is necessary to file the “First Report of Injury” form. Many times an injury does not present itself as requiring medical attention until several hours or even days later.
Review and complete the “First Report of Injury” form to assist with the phone calls.
Emergency:
- Immediately call 911.
- Then follow steps of non-emergency
Non-Emergency/Non-Life-Threatening
These steps need to be completed within 24 hours of the incident.
- Collect the following information:
- Date, time, location of incident
- Name, Address, Phone Number
- Brief description of incident (1-3 sentences)
- Extent of injuries
- Staff or faculty member contact information
- If possible, take photographs of the area or conditions that may have contributed to the injury or damage.
- Complete the “First Report of Injury” form. This will help you with the call to AmeriSys.
