If an employee is injured at work, they should report the incident to their supervisor seek care appropriate to the injury. The preferred provider for work-related injuries involving care beyond basic first aid is Concentra Urgent Care located at 59 East Ave., Lewiston, ME. For after hours care, an employee should be seen at their normal medical care provider or Urgent care location and indicate that the visit is work-related.

In the event of a medical emergency, call 207-786-6111 to reach Bates Campus Safety. Officers will respond and supporting agencies (EMS, fire department, etc.) will be notified, as needed.

If it is not a medical emergency, an employee must contact their supervisor to verbally report the event.

After the injury/incident has been reported, a First Report of Injury Form will need to be completed by the employee and supervisor. The Environmental Health and Safety Department will communicate with the affected employee regarding an injury investigation, if necessary.

HR will contact the Bates Worker’s Compensation insurer if necessary. The information communicated to the insurer is taken largely from the Injury/Incident Report, therefore an accurate and timely submission of this report is critical to establishing both employee and employer rights under Maine State Law and for establishing a date of injury necessary for initiating WC coverage.
