Workers' Compensation
Injury Reporting
In case of injury, it is an employee’s responsibility to notify his/her supervisor or department head immediately. Any injury, no matter how slight, must be reported to your supervisor.
In the event of life or limb-threatening emergencies, contact 9-1-1 or seek immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency facility.
Employee Injury with Medical Treatment
If the injured employee or his/her supervisor judges that medical attention is needed, the injury will need to be reported to Clemson’s workers’ compensation carrier. To report an injury for medical treatment:
- The supervisor or other designated person must call CorVel at 1-866-282-2674 to report the injury and assist in completing the First Report of Injury with a Nurse Case Manager. The employee will be referred to Redfern Health Center or an AUTHORIZED Off Campus Medical Facility.
- The injured employee must complete the Workers’ Compensation Report of Injury form.
Employee Injury without Medical Treatment
If the injured employee does not require medical treatment at the time of injury, the injury should still be documented and reported to Risk Services and Insurance. To report a notice of injury only:
