If you are injured at work, seek appropriate care depending on the severity of the injury. As soon as possible, inform your supervisor and the Office of Human Resources so that a First Report of Injury can be completed. As provided by law, the College carries insurance to cover on-the-job injuries. As part of our Workers’ Compensation Program, the College has established a Return-to-Work Program. The goal of this program is, when appropriate, to return the injured employee to work (either to the original job or to a transitional assignment) as soon as possible, if feasible. Generally, missed time not covered by workers’ compensation (appointments, the first three days of missed work) should be designated as sick time. Additional information can also be found in the Employee Safety Manual located on the Occupational Health and Safety intranet website.
