Human Resources Forms:
Accidents (Student or Visitor)
Visitors and students other than RSWP that receive an injury/illness while on the ETSU campus must submit their claim to the Division of Claims Administration of the State Treasury Department. This form can be obtained directly from the Office of Financial Services, Box 70732, Burgin Dossett Administration Bldg., 2nd floor, Room 202, phone: 423-439-4414. It's also accessible via the Office of Financial Services website.
Reporting Accidents and Injuries
In order to assist with accurate and timely reporting of incidents/accidents, ETSU has a reporting mechanism in place to insure proper documentation and follow-up of the event. All accidents and injuries occurring on ETSU owned or leased property must be documented. Emergencies should be reported to Public Safety (423-439-4480 or 911 from campus landlines) immediately for proper medical treatment. Public Safety will arrive to assist with the injured and dispatch other emergency personnel if needed. Public Safety will complete the Injury/Illness Report Form. ETSU colleges and departments are required to complete this form for incidents (i.e. minor injuries involving first aid, near miss events, etc.) involving students and guests when Public Safety is not called. The report must then be faxed to Public Safety (423-439-5805) within 24 hours of the event.
