Work Related Injuries & Illness
What to do if you are injured at work:
1. Immediately report to your Supervisor that you have injured yourself while working. If your injury is an emergency, you or your Supervisor should call 911 for immediate treatment.
If it is not an emergency, you (or your supervisor with you present) should call Company Nurse at 1-888-375-9779 and give the Code “CSIG” to the Company Nurse representative that answers the phone, BEFORE you leave the premises. A Company Nurse Registered Nurse will gather information on your injury through the medical triage process and make care recommendations of either first aid advice or they will provide you with a medical referral. Alternatively, you can scan the Company Nurse QR code located on any of the Company Nurse flyers, or you can click HERE to submit your information using Company Nurse's virtual assistant.
First Aid Advice Only – The Nurse will provide advice, which you are to follow. You may return full time to your regular position. If medical situation worsens or does not improve, you must call Company Nurse again for appropriate medical referral prior to seeking treatment, unless it is an emergency.
Medical Referral – If the Nurse determines medical treatment is needed, they will offer a Telemedicine visit (if appropriate) or refer you to OUESD’s designated Medical Facility. You then seek medical treatment as directed (unless you have pre-designated your personal physician prior to the injury).
2. If the Company Nurse provides you with a medical referral to seek medical treatment, you must return a copy of the Work Status Slip provided to you by the Medical Facility to District Claims Coordinator.
