Procedure for Reporting Employee Injuries

Managers must correctly instruct their employees on reporting work injuries. Employees should immediately complete a written report of the injury, preferably including photographs of visible injuries and related equipment. Witness accounts, if present, should be taken and documented.

Steps Following an Employee Injury

Post-injury, the employee should alert the on-duty supervisor, who will authorize them to visit an approved physician for an examination. Subsequently, the physician’s report should be forwarded to the Human Resources department and the workers’ compensation insurance provider. A representative from HR and the insurance firm will then reach the injured worker to discuss treatment protocols at an approved facility.
