403.2 - EMPLOYEE INJURY ON THE JOB
When an employee becomes seriously injured on the job, the employee’s supervisor will attempt to notify a member of the family, or an individual of close relationship, as soon as the employee’s supervisor becomes aware of the injury.
If possible, an employee may administer emergency or minor first aid. An injured employee will be turned over to the care of the employee's family or qualified medical employees as quickly as possible. The school district is not responsible for medical treatment of an injured employee.
It is the responsibility of the employee injured on the job to inform the superintendent within twenty-four hours of the occurrence. It is the responsibility of the employee's immediate supervisor, or business manager, to file an accident report within twenty-four hours after the employee reported the injury.
It is the responsibility of the business manager to file worker’s comp claims.
An injured employee will follow the on-call nurse procedures set up by the district. The on-call nurse number is 844-322-4668, and is available 24 hours a day. The Washington County Clinics is where injured employees need to go to see a doctor.
