The Workers' Compensation program at Idaho State University ensures that employees, including student employees, interns, and authorized volunteers, receive necessary benefits in the event of work-related injuries or occupational diseases. These benefits include full coverage for medical expenses and potential partial compensation for time-loss from work. We prioritize the well-being of our employees and strive to provide timely and comprehensive support during their recovery process.
Life-Threatening
Call 911 immediately. Injured employee should be transported by ambulance to the nearest emergency facility for immediate medical attention.
Non-Life Threatening
Immediate Steps:
- Injured employee should immediately notify their supervisor, no matter how small the injury.
- The injured employee should work with their supervisor to fill out a Supervisor's Accident Report. Email the signed report to risk@isu.edu within 24 hours, where possible. These reports should be kept on file in the department.
Seeking Medical Treatment:
- If the injured employee seeks medical treatment they should call Risk Management, (208) 282-5741, to start the claim and file a First Report of Injury as quickly as possible.
- Risk Management will submit the claim to the Idaho State Insurance Fund which will investigate, evaluate, and make a final determination on the claim.
- Where possible, the injured employee should seek treatment from our preferred providers for ease of claim coordination. If a specialist is needed, our preferred providers can recommend you.
- After hours, the employee may seek treatment at an Immediate Care or Emergency Center of their choice.
