Prompt reporting of incidents involving injury or property damage adds tremendous value to the risk management process by helping to identify risks, limiting liability, and offering timely handling of claims. 13.1 Reporting Requirements All incidents or near misses involving staff, faculty, students, or visitors that occur on campus must be reported within 24 hours of the incident. Incidents are reported on the ND OMB website as a General or Motor Vehicle case. The link, and reporting instructions, are on the DCB website under Faculty and Staff. Reporting is done by the individual employee. If assistance is needed, contact your supervisor or the DCB Risk Manager. 13.2 Injury Reporting – Workers Compensation Employees must report all work-related injuries to their supervisor immediately. The supervisor reports each work-related injury to Human Resources within 24 hours of notification or at the beginning of the next regularly scheduled workday (whichever is appropriate). Incidents are reported on the ND OMB website. The link and reporting instructions are on the DCB website under Faculty and Staff. Reporting is done by the individual employee. If you need assistance, contact your supervisor or the DCB Risk Manager. When medical assistance is required, the supervisor or assigned person is encouraged to accompany the injured worker to the medical facility rendering service. In all cases, the worker or person accompanying the worker shall notify the medical facility that this is a work-related injury and that the injured is a DCB employee. 14. Jury Duty An employee will be allowed to leave with pay for jury or other legal duty when subpoenaed for such service. Any compensation received for such duty may be retained by the employee. When an employee is called as a witness on behalf of the state, where the employee’s department is a party to the action, and where the department reimburses the employee for mileage, sustenance and room (which it may do), no witness fees or mileage shall be charged by said employee and no time shall be deducted from the absence of said employee and said employee shall be deemed to be performing duties or services for the state. Where an employee is called as a witness when the department is not a party to the action and the department does not reimburse such employee for mileage, sustenance and room, the employee may collect fees and mileage from the proper party and retain same without any loss of time or pay provided said employee remains current with assigned duties, responsibilities, and work.
