You must notify your supervisor immediately about any on-the-job accident/injury. If an employee is injured and cannot be treated from supplies available in the area, call 911 for emergency medical assistance and then call 8444 to report the incident to University Police.
WHEN REPORTING THE EVENT,
BE SURE TO GIVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION

- Whether an ambulance or the fire department is needed
- The address and name of the building

- Your phone number or the number of the nearest phone
- Inform the 911 operator that University Police will meet the ambulance at the Congress entrance and escort it to the location
TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS

- Make the injured party as comfortable as possible until emergency assistance arrives
- Stop all work activities and shut down all equipment in and around the area of the accident/injury
- Secure the area and do not touch anything that may be of interest in an investigation of a work-related injury
- If there is equipment involved in an injury, the equipment should be tagged "Out of Service" until the investigation is completed and the equipment is checked by Building Maintenance
- If the accident scene involves bodily fluids, employees should not clean up the area (a trained person with proper personal protective equipment will perform this job)
