Illness/Injury During Work Hours

In the case of injuries of non-emergency type such as minor burns, lacerations, punctures, abrasions, etc., the Health Center will provide the necessary care and initial treatment. The University Health Center in Gosiger Hall does not provide either primary care to campus employees or care for campus employees who suffer a sudden illness, accident or occupationally incurred injury of a very serious, life-threatening nature requiring immediate attention and treatment. If unable to judge whether it is a very serious, life-threatening emergency or a non-emergency, treatment should be sought at the Industrial Medical Center located at the former Franciscan Medical Center (228-8132). Seriously injured or ill employees should call 911 for transportation to the nearest emergency facility.

Employees must notify their supervisor whenever a work-related injury or occupational illness occurs. The supervisor will submit the "Report of Injury" to the office of human resources, St. Mary's Hall Room 118, +4 zip 1614.The employee must complete the appropriate workers' compensation forms which are available from the office of human resources. All bills should be submitted to the office of human resources, St. Mary's Hall Room 118, +4 zip 1614, and not to the University's Anthem insurance plan.

For employees located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, care for very serious, life-threatening emergencies may be sought at the Wright-Patterson AFB Hospital by dialing 911 for an ambulance. Treatment for non-emergency type injuries should be cared for at the nearest Industrial Medical Center.

Investigative Services

Dispatchers are available 24 hours a day to handle complaints, reports of incidents and calls for service from the University community. Investigations are conducted into all allegations of misconduct, theft, and damage to person or University property (ext. 2107).

Maintenance and Repair of Office Equipment

Should you need maintenance or repair of office equipment, contact the office of purchases (ext. 2641) or the Research Institute purchasing office (ext. 3822).

Reporting Theft, Damage, or Accident/Injury

Notify the environmental safety office of a possible insurance claim. This can be done by phone (ext. 4503) and followed with an Incident and Hazard Report Form supplied by the environmental safety office Alumni Hall Room 219.
In cases of theft or damage of UD property, public safety will need detailed information on the items stolen or damaged, the serial and UD barcode numbers, and the replacement cost of each item. Contact property management (ext. 3822) if this information is not available from your office records. If this information is not given when public safety fills out the Offense Report, a Theft/Damage Listing Form will be provided. This form MUST be completed and returned to public safety within three (3) working days of the initial Offense Report.

Note: The University does not have insurance coverage for personal property belonging to faculty and staff, students, or visitors.

Replacement of property, if any, is subject to delay or denial until all procedures have been properly executed. Reimbursements on insurance, if any, will not be possible unless all offices are properly and timely notified.
