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 (24) hours of the occurrence. It is the responsibility of the employee’s immediate supervisor to file an accident report within twenty-four (24) hours after the employee reported the injury. An employee who fails to follow this policy may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
It is the responsibility of the board secretary to file worker’s comp claims.
