First Aid Procedures

Faculty/Staff

All employees must report any injury to their supervisor as soon as practical, but at least by the end of the shift during which the injury occurred.

Minor injuries will be treated at the Student Health Center and the employee will be returned to work as soon as practical.

In the event of authorized medical treatment, the immediate supervisor will ensure the completion of an "EMPLOYER'S REPORT OF OCCUPATIONAL INJURY/ILLNESS" report form and the "INCIDENT/ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION FORM DA2000 and will forward a copy of each via the Department Head to the Human Resources Office. 

If services of a physician are needed, the employee will be given authorization for treatment at the local treatment center designated by Health Services personnel. With the exception of an emergency situation, off campus treatment may be at the expense of the employee and not subject for compensation payment.

The employee will provide his supervisor with the injury diagnosis and return to work will be by authorization by the attending physician.

Note: ULM does support a back-to-work program so that the injured can return to light duty if not able to return to regular duties.
