10.2.9.A Occupational Injury and Illness
POLICY
All university employees are covered by the Michigan Workers Disability Compensation Act, which provides for medical and wage loss payments when an injury or illness arises out of, and in the course of, employment. Failure to follow the procedures outlined below may jeopardize an employee's entitlement to benefits under the law. The university reserves the right to determine liability for alleged occupational injuries and illnesses. Liability is determined following completion of a Report of Injury, form 727, an evaluation by the Occupational Health Service Clinic (OHS) at Detroit Receiving Hospital and University Health Center and receipt of any medical reports.
An evaluation by the Occupational Health Service Clinic is required in all instances of occupational injury or illness even if no treatment is necessary. The Occupational Health Service Clinic is located in Room 4K of the University Health Center at 4201 St. Antoine.
