The prompt reporting of accidents and follow-up is essential if the college is to be in a position to handle accident cases in the correct manner. It is important to remember that every injury could result in a workers’ compensation claim. As such, there are specific guidelines that must be followed to meet legal compliance. It is the policy of the college to ensure all information pertaining to every injury is completed thoroughly, accurately and in a timely manner.
Students who are covered under student accident insurance should notify the dean of student services. If an accident occurs in a classroom or lab, they should contact the campus police to complete an accident report form. The administrator will assist the student in making a claim to the insurance company. Students are also encouraged to report any acute medical conditions to the dean of student services and to their instructors.
