Revised

This university policy has been revised to add a new subsection (2) under the section on Responsibilities and Procedures, requiring that injured employees shall immediately provide notice of the accident, injury, or occupational illness to the appropriate supervisor. In addition, a physician providing follow-up treatment no longer must be deemed appropriate by both the University and injured employee. If the Brocker Health Center is closed, an injured employee will be directed to either Harrisburg Family Physicians or the Emergency Room of University Hospital, rather than to the Emergency Room only. The time in which the supervisor of the injured employee must notify the Safety Office of the injury has been shortened to twenty-four hours after the incident. After initial notification, the supervisor must submit a written investigation of the incident to the Safety Office within three working days of the incident.
