In Event of an Injury
Life-Threatening
Call 911 immediately. Employee should be transported by ambulance to the nearest emergency facility for immediate medical attention.
Non-Life Threatening
- Employee should immediately notify their supervisor, no matter how small the injury may be. The injured employee along with their supervisor need to complete a Supervisor’s Accident Report and email this to Risk Management: aubrienield@isu.edu within 24 hours, where possible.
- If the employee is seeking medical treatment for the injury they should call Risk Management at (208) 282-5741 to begin the claim process and fill out a First Report of Injury. This is generally done after the Supervisors Accident Report has been submitted.
- Risk Management will submit the claim to the Idaho State Insurance Fund who will investigate, evaluate, and make a final determination on the claim.
- Employee should seek medical treatment from our preferred providers, University Health Center or Health West for our Pocatello facilities. Employees of ISU Meridian and Idaho Falls may seek treatment at a facility of their choice since there are no preferred providers designated for these campuses.
