Important Steps to Follow

Please take the following steps when an accident occurs at your work location involving one of our employees assigned to your Company. For a printable copy of these steps, click here.

Step 1: Notify ACCU

Immediately notify your ACCU Branch Office during normal business hours or the Risk Manager/ Workers Compensation Specialist after hours at (609) 206-0804 and please have the following information available:

• ACCU employee’s name
• Date and time of accident
• Injury description
• Brief description of how the accident and/or injury occurred
• List all witnesses to the incident to include post-incident response
• Please indicate if other employees were involved or if vehicles, machines, or property were also involved or damaged.

Step 2: Emergency Response

If the injury is acute, requiring immediate medical care, please call 911 for ambulance/EMS response. Direct medical transport to the closest emergency room. Please notify ACCU Staffing Services immediately. Strains and sprains, minor lacerations, and bruises are not considered life-threatening, acute injuries and do not warrant an EMS response or emergency room treatment.

Step 3: Non-Emergency Response

For less than emergency care, please contact the ACCU Branch Office before sending the injured employee out for care. The Branch staff will direct the employee to the closest occupational health
clinic within our WC insurance carrier’s network.
Please request a medical center roster for your county.

Step 4: Complete Incident Report

As soon as possible after the accident, the
ACCU Staffing Services Risk Manager must become involved in the Incident Investigation in cooperation with the Client’s management team. Immediate notes taken by floor supervisors, department managers, etc. may be jotted on the ACCU Incident Report Form unless the Client completes their own Incident Report form. In that case we would respectfully request a copy of the Client’s Incident Report.

Step 5: Risk Manager's Assessment

The ACCU Risk Manager must visit the incident scene for a more comprehensive understanding of the incident’s chain of events, scene layout, identify safety violations, and help determine possible ways to prevent any further, similar incidents.

Step 6: Witness Interview

The Risk Manager would also need to interview ACCU employees who may have witnessed the event. We may also need to interview the Client’s supervisors and managers who may have important
incident information.

We certainly appreciate your anticipated cooperation. Please call if we can provide any assistance at any time toward this injury prevention, incident/ injury investigation and reporting effort.
