2-202 Reporting Procedures for Incidents Requiring Medical
Attention
A. First Aid Only – If medical attention is not required, the
supervisor completes the incident notification form. Both the
employee and the supervisor should sign the form.
B. Medical Referrals to a Physician – a supervisor or designee
must take the injured employee to the Company's designated
medical facility. Workplace injuries must be treated by
Company-assigned doctors in order to ensure complete
coverage for medical treatment rendered.
C. The doctor will issue a statement of each visit, which the
employee must give to their supervisor upon return to work.
This statement will include the date and time of next
appointment and will state whether there are any work
restrictions.
D. When no further treatment is required, the doctor will indicate
"discharge from treatment" and will give the employee a full
release, with no restrictions. A copy must be given to the
supervisor.
E. If the employee is given medication that may impair the ability
to safely perform work, the employee must notify his or her
supervisor.

2-203 Violating the accident reporting policy is cause for disciplinary
action up to and including termination. Termination may be
administered on a first offense.
