Injury at Work

Versiti ensures that workers’ compensation benefits are provided to all employees who experience an injury or illness during the course and scope of their employment with the Company in accordance with applicable state law. Versiti’s objective is to ensure employees are provided with first-aid, medical treatment, leave of absence and Return to Work opportunities, as required, to support prompt employee recovery. Depending on the nature of the employee’s work-related injury or illness, workers’ compensation insurance provides benefits for medical care, temporary or permanent disability, vocational rehabilitation, and death. Versiti’s third-party workers’ compensation insurance carriers administer these benefits, and applicable state law governs employees’ entitlement to these benefits.

Ohio employees should follow the local process. Please reach out to your leader and local EHS contact for additional information.

OSHA Safety Poster

  •  

All accidents, injuries and near misses that occur while at work, no matter how small or insignificant must be reported immediately to your supervisor.  All accidents, near misses or safety action items need to be reported in the  system no later than 24 hours upon recognition or notification of the event.   If an injured employee is physically unable to report the injury, the supervisor is required to initiate the first report through the reporting system. If an employee is seeking medical attention beyond first aid for a work related injury, the state EHS specialist must be notified by the end of the shift.
