Report the Injury Immediately to Your Supervisor

If possible report your injury within the first 48 hours, the longer you wait the more you allow the company to claim the injury took place off the job and you could be denied workers’ compensation.

Bring a Witness When You Are Reporting Your Injury

If management tries to discourage you in any way from reporting the injury, or retaliates against you for reporting an injury, contact Local 96 immediately.

Seek Medical Care Right Away

Call an ambulance if you need to. Do not hesitate to leave the job if necessary, but make sure you inform your supervisor.
