Injury or Illness Reporting


 

Accidents can happen to anybody at any skill level and should be promptly reported without trepidation of negative consequences for those involved, unless there is some level of negligence or disregard for personal protection.   Promptly reporting incidents can help facilitate the development of preventative measures and/or procedural changes if they are determined to be necessary.  If you or someone in your lab or group has an accident please be familiar with the procedure to properly provide care and report the incident to the proper people.

 

If the injury is life or limb threatening, call 911 or go straight to an emergency care provider.  If the injury is serious or disabling, including overnight hospitalization, broken bones, loss of limb, loss of consciousness, deep cuts, electric shock, sight impairment, or a fatality, you or your supervisor must contact Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety (OEHS) immediately at (801) 581-6590 or University Police Dispatch at (801) 585-2677. 

 

If the injury is not life threatening then the injured individual should visit either the RedMed facility or the Redwood Health Center Occupational Medical Clinic during office hours or if the Injury occurs after hours then the injured individual should visit the University Hospital Emergency Room or the Redwood Urgent Care Facility.
