Workplace Safety Information and Forms

Willamette University is committed to providing a safe environment for employees as well as the students we are here to educate, not just because it is a legal obligation, but because we care about the well being of each member of our staff. We will make every effort to make this committment a reality by providing adequate training to our staff and identifying and correcting unsafe conditions as a matter of practice. We will be proactive in ensuring a safe University community for all.

The safety of our campus is everyone's responsibility. If you notice a condition or activity on campus that you feel may create issues of concern for your safety, or that of your your co-workers, students, or the public in general, you should report the condition to your supervisor, the Facilities Services department, Campus Safety or Human Resources at once. Phone numbers for reporting unsafe conditions follow:

Facilities Services: ext. 6135
Campus Safety: ext. 6911
Human Resources: ext. 6210

Accidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

If you are injured on the job you should report the accident or condition to either your supervisor or the Human Resources office immediately. Forms for filing workers compensation claims can be obtained from the Human Resources office, or are available for download below. It is very important that timely notification of the incident causing the condition be made to your supervisor or Human Resources, both to ensure your well being and to prevent future denial of your claims.

In the event of a serious injury, Campus Safety should be called at 6911. Do not attempt to move a seriously injured person unless necessary to prevent further injury. Seriously injured persons should not be transported by private vehicle if at all possible, but, instead, should be transported by ambulance to the nearest emergency room.

As of March 1, 2007, Willamette's carrier for Workers Compensation Insurance is the Oregon Educational Employers Workers' Compensation Trust, which is managed by Empire Pacific. The Trust has partnered with Oregon Health System's, Inc. to provide medical treatment and services to employees with work-related injuries or illnesses. This preferred provider network includes Salem Occupational Health Clinic, which we use for our pre-placement physicals as well, and specializes in occupational health. They are located at 2168 Lancaster Dr NE, Salem, and you can call (503) 362-5242 for an appointment. For a complete list of preferred providers, please contact Human Resources.
