HOW TO REPORT A WORK RELATED ACCIDENT

If you are injured on the job, you must fill out an Accident Report and the Instructions and Information for Injured Worker forms, even if you are choosing not to seek medical treatment at the time of the accident.  The forms are located with the school nurse/health tech or click on the link above.  Once completed, the form needs to be faxed to the Benefits Office at 579-2138 as soon as possible, same day of injury if possible.  Board Regulation GBGD-R requires this to be done within 24 hours of injury.  Board Policy GBGD also addresses other issues connected to a Workers' Compensation claim.

If your injury requires medical treatment, you will need authorization from the Benefits Office.  The Benefits Office can be reached at 579-2048 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.  If you injury occurs after the Benefits Office has closed and you require immediate treatment, please proceed with treatment as instructed below and contact the Benefits Office the VERY first thing the next business morning.

If the injury occurs Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:00 - 5:00 you will need to be seen by one of the District's contracted Designated Medical Providers listed below - Integrity Urgent Care, Concentra South, or HealthQuest Medical Services.  For a map to the clinic, click on the clinic's name.
