Workers' Compensation

Processes and Forms

In the event of a workplace injury, the first priority must be to seek medical treatment for the injured employee, if needed. All incidents of work place injury must be reported to the Office of Human Resources as soon as possible.

In an emergency, the employee should be referred to the nearest hospital or emergency room. Contact Campus Police if an ambulance is needed.

For non-emergency injuries, please contact the Office of Human Resources; the employee will be referred to a first responder as noted on the appropriate Medical Care Authorization Form:
