CHAPTER 8
MEDICAL CONSULTATION

An opportunity for Laboratory Workers to receive medical consultation must be provided under the following circumstances:

  • if an employee develops any symptoms thought to arise from chemical overexposure
  • after an event such as a major spill, leak or explosion which may have resulted in an overexposure
  • the laboratory specific or Institutional Chemical Hygiene Officer identifies an overexposure as the result of an evaluation

Employees or student workers receiving pay that require medical evaluation should follow the same procedure as reporting an accident. The supervisor should be informed and then UK Workers' Care contacted by calling 1-800-440-6285. The Form IA-1 (Workers' Compensation First Report of Injury) may be completed at the time of the call by UK Workers' Care or by the employee's supervisor. The original Form IA-1, if completed by the supervisor, is to be sent to UK Workers' Care. Forms are available from UK Benefits at 115 Scovell Hall. If the injury is to an unpaid worker, a Propery Damage/Public Injury Report should be completed.

If an employee is injured and DOES NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION at this time, an Accident-Occupational Injury/Illness Report, Form-6 in Appendix IX, should be completed.

Note: Any medical examination required by this Plan must be provided without cost to the employee, without loss of pay and at a reasonable time and place. Records of any medical examination will be maintained at the medical facility providing service or with appropriate medical personnel at the University.
