What should I do if an employee is injured while working?
If one of your team members experiences a workplace injury, begin the workers’ compensation process immediately. Then, encourage them to make an appointment at Occupational Health Services Medical Group.
During your employee’s initial appointment, the team reviews their medical history, conducts a comprehensive physical exam, and asks them about the injury, including what they were doing, how it happened, and the symptoms they’re experiencing as a result. The team combines all of this information to develop a custom care plan for your team member.
