Our worker's compensation carrier provides us with a MPN pamphlet for you at time of hire and at time of injury.
We have also established a relationship with the above medical providers to treat your work injuries quickly and
assess your ability to return to work.
Alternates may be
available if you are unable to obtain the care you desire
at the facility noted above - see HR.
If
you are injured while working, we want you to
receive the care you need as soon as possible.
Here are some helpful suggestions:
1.
If an injury appears critical, call 911 for immediate
emergency medical. If not, notify your coworkers
for assistance and contact your supervisor (or
on-call contact).
2.
If you are in any discomfort or question if you
have an injury of concern, let your
supervisor know that you need medical assistance.
They will help you receive assistance and provide
relief if your injury requires you to leave your
shift quickly. Note that a safety investigation
is to occur PRIOR to being referred to the
designated medical provider unless the injury
is serious or life-threatening (then the safety
investigation will be completed after medical
treatment). Your supervisor will provide you
with directions to our medical provider.
These directions are posted here and in each staff
bulletin board areas. (Note, never drive to our
provider if you are in pain and/or are impaired.)
3.
If you believe that your injury does not require
immediate medical assistance, still report
your injury to your supervisor by the end
of your shift. If medical treatment becomes necessary,
an appointment will be scheduled for you with
our treating physician.
4.
Your supervisor (or on-call representative) will
notify HR for all authorizations for medical
treatment and to report the injury. (If an injury
happens after hours or on a weekend, then employees
are directed to a medical facility for treatment but still
must report to HR the first adminstrative day
following the injury). You, your supervisor,
and an HR representative will complete paperwork
to record your injury, evaluate the circumstances
surrounding the event, and report any injuries
that require medical assistance to our insurance
carrier (Cypress Insurance through Berkshire Hathaway). |
