Accidents & Injuries

[rkline]

As the newly appointed safety officer, please contact me ASAP regarding ANY departmental accident or injury, regardless of whether career or volunteer. For 'on the clock' injuries requiring medical facility care, the member's immediate supervisor shall file a claim with KEMI (career) or KACo (volunteer) within 24 hours of an incident. Sgt Cruz and I will work diligently over the next few weeks to update station books with the appropriate paperwork and (hopefully) online access to our workers' compensation agencies.

Reminder: Written statements are required from everyone involved in an accident or injury

Thanks,

Roy

I also need notification for exposures to body fluids, carbon monoxide, chemicals, contaminants, etc, etc.
