The employee shall report all accidents/injuries promptly to his/her supervisor, but no later than 24 hours after the injury becomes known explaining to the supervisor how the injury occurred. The supervisor will give the employee the forms to complete and conduct an accident investigation. Coverage by Workers’ Compensation Insurance will be determined by the circumstances of the accident/injury.
