In all cases that are true emergencies (life or limb threatening), the priority is to get the employee immediate medical care. Call the University Police Department at 337-482-6447, or DIAL 911. UL Lafayette Police officers are trained first responders.
Student Health Services does not treat employees or visitors for accidents, on-the-job injuries, or worker’s compensation cases.
Contact your Departmental Safety Coordinator or obtain all facts pertaining to the injury using one of the following reports: (editable forms must be opened in Adobe Acrobat) DA 3000 (non-employees accident/incident report form) DA 2000 (employees, student aids & volunteers accident/incident report form)
Automobile accidents that occur while on approved University related business must be reported immediately. Ensure that the police are contacted and that a police report is issued. The report will include contact information for the opposite vehicle which will be needed later. Accidents should be documented on aDA2041 (vehicle accident report form), which can be found in the glove compartment. If an employee is injured in a motor vehicle accident, the DA2000 is NOT to be used to report the auto accident. The DA2000 can be used to report injuries sustained as a result of the automobile accident, which Human Resources will need to create a workers compensation claim. When the DA2000 is submitted, the Safety Office and Human Resources will receive the copy of the report, when submitted electronically.
