  • Refrain from making any statements regarding liability or payment of bills.
  • Do not remove anything from the premises, unless it creates a safety hazard.
  • Call 911 if injury occurs off campus and report the occurrence to the Public Safety Office. Public Safety will complete an incident report and forward the report to the Risk Management Office.
  • For work related injuries, contact your supervisor immediately, as well as Public Safety. Complete a Worker's Compensation First Report of Injury form and forward it to the Risk Management Office.
