The program is designed to provide injured employees with easy access to the work comp insurance system if they are injured on the job. While we want to ensure that everyone injured in our employ is provided with high quality medical care leading to a rapid and healthy return to work, we want to preclude accidents and occupational injuries wherever possible. If you see an unsafe condition, you must report it to your supervisor immediately.
Unsafe acts are more difficult to identify.
Standing on top of a step ladder, not using hearing or eye protection and lifting badly are unsafe acts. The University of Montana intends to provide safety training and any necessary safety equipment for all employees. Please see the Worker's Compensation Personnel Policy for further details and requirements. All volunteers are covered under Worker's Compensation. Please see the Volunteer Policy for details and the necessary forms if you have volunteers in your department.
