Student Injury Protocol

 

 

  1. In a medical emergency, call 911.  Do not move the injured student unless more harm will be incurred by keeping them stationary (e.g. risk of fire/burns/falling debris/etc.).  Stay with the injured person(s) and provide basic first aid within your scope of training as indicated by the situation.
  2. If uncertain as to whether injury is an emergency, you may call 911 for assessment and possible transport.
  3. Notify Campus Public Safety (x2230) if 911 has been called and emergency personnel are en route.
  4. If the injury is not severe but medical attention is needed, proceed to an urgent care or emergency room.  You may also contact the Student Health Center @ 503-352-2269 for assistance with triage questions and availability of services.

STUDENT ACCIDENT FORM

The completed form should be returned to the Environmental Health and Safety Office, UC 663.

Student Accident/Incident Analysis forms are reported (with the student name omitted for confidentiality) to the Health and Safety Advisory Committee for review and discussion of prevention and corrective action planning with regards to campus safety issues.

Any medical expenses incurred as a result of the injury should be billed to the student’s personal insurance carrier.

 

If a student is injured while working for the University, they should follow the protocol for injured employees.  All job related injuries or illnesses must be reported immediately to your supervisor.  The Human Resource office (x2860) will explain your responsibilities and assist you in completing the necessary paperwork.
