Technical Personnel

A contractor / employee who experiences or witnesses an injury on the job that requires a doctor’s visit should contact their employer as soon as possible. The manager will conduct an accident investigation during the shift the accident occurs. The proper forms need to be filed as soon as possible. The manager’s focus of the accident investigation should be to get as many facts as possible to help determine the basic cause of the accident.
