Medical - Employees

 

Information Concerning Sick/Injured Employees The District is self-insured for on-the-job employee injuries. To be covered, the injured employee must go to a Concentra Medical Center (CMC) for medical treatment. When the injury is serious or life threatening, the employee may be taken to a hospital instead. In either case, the employee's supervisor is required to complete a "Supervisor's Report of Industrial Injury" and ensure that the "Authorization for Examination or Treatment" form is filled out and sent to the CMC or hospital with the employee. Employees using their own doctor for initial treatment will not be covered by the District's compensation program. Sick employees are not covered by the District's compensation program. Instead, their medical insurance provides the needed coverage. Always notify the employee's supervisor concerning the sick employee.

WHAT TO DO Whenever you observe or are informed that an employee of the college is ill or injured: Immediately notify Public Safety at 58911 or use an emergency callbox. Notify 9-1-1 followed by Public Safety in life-threatening situations. If the incident involves blood or other body fluids, ensure that Public Safety is aware of the fact. Keep the ill or injured person as comfortable as possible while waiting for the officer or medical assistance to respond. Do not attempt to move a person who has fallen and appears to be in pain. Provide the responding officer and supervisor with your version of what happened after the ill or injured person's needs are taken care of and the incident has concluded.
