Changes to workers’ compensation programs

The following new work-injury reporting and treatment processes became effective Monday, May 7, 2018.

Reporting a work-related injury or illness:

If you are injured at work, immediately complete the following steps:

Emergency care: In case of a serious injury or illness (or any treatment that occurs after hours and should not wait until clinic hours the next day) seek immediate treatment at the nearest emergency facility or call 911.

Report your work-injury: Immediately report your work-injury to your manager/supervisor.

Phone EMC OnCall Nurse at 844-322-4668 (24 hours/7 days a week): You and your manager, if available, should call EMC OnCall Nurse together. You will discuss the extent of your injury with a registered nurse and be guided to the appropriate level of care. If a language barrier exists, a translation service is quickly brought into the call. Over 200 languages are available.

Follow EMC OnCall Nurse’s instructions: When care is needed, the registered nurse will provide treatment recommendations and/or designated medical facilities for work-injury treatment. Please proceed with treatment as instructed by the EMC OnCall Nurse.

You or your manager/supervisor must also submit the Drake online First Report of Injury.
