Occupational Medicine Guidelines

9 Occupational Medicine Student Accidents and Injuries Students not employed by ISU who are exposed or injured should seek medical attention at the Thielen Student Health Center, 2647 Union Drive, (515) 294- 5801. All accidents and injuries sustained by ISU students while in academic classes or events sponsored by the university must be reported to Risk Management by the student and a university representative using the ISU Incident Portal . Is training available? Yes. Personnel who work under hazardous conditions or with hazardous substances are required to be informed of the types and levels of hazards to which they are exposed. They must be trained in practices for safe work near chemical, biological, radiological, and physical hazards, and for handling emergency situations. This training and information must be provided when the individual is initially assigned, or prior to assignments involving new workplace hazards. Departments, and ultimately supervisors, are responsible for ensuring that appropriate information and training have been provided to personnel. Information on safety training courses provided by EH&S is available through the Learn@ISU. Additionally, on-site training and/or consultation is available to assist ISU supervisors and personnel in managing issues related to workers’ compensation. Call the Iowa State Workers’ Compensation Office at (515) 294-3753.
