Work-Related Accident Reporting Procedure
This section outlines the worksite injury reporting/documentation process.  Following this process exactly enables AdvanStaff HR to properly manage the claim process to ensure the employee receives the highest quality treatment possible. It is EXTREMELY important work-site managers follow the process outlined in this article.
 
The following is a list of injuries that should be reported to AdvanStaff HR immediately:
  • Death
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Injuries that cause missed days of work or restricted work activity
  • Any needle injury or cut from a sharp object that is contaminated with another person’s blood or any other potentially infectious material
  • Injuries that require an employee to be medically removed under the requirements of an OSHA health standard
  • Injuries that require any medical treatment beyond first aid (refer to the “Medical Treatment” vs. “First Aid” form)

AdvanStaff HR requires adherence to the following worksite accident / illness reporting policy.

The following steps are required in the event of a worksite or work-related injury or illness:

  1. Employee(s) must report any and all accidents / illness to their supervisors immediately.
  2. If the injury requires professional medical attention, a supervisor or a company representative should, whenever possible, accompany the injured worker to the medical care facility to ensure employee safety and that the appropriate forms are completed by the health care provider. Please be aware that the employee may also be subject to drug and alcohol screening. For a list of Concentra Medical Facilities click the following: MAP VIEW
