Workplace Injuries
What should I do if my employee has a workplace injury?
If your employee experiences an injury while on the job and the necessary internal incident report is completed, fill out the employers authorization to treat form, and have your employee fill out the medical history form.
After you fill out the necessary forms, contact the team at Edinger Urgent Care. The office is open from 8 am to 6 pm, but we have an after-hours (24/7) service for work injuries.
Oftentimes, our clinicians will call you immediately after they evaluate the injured worker. Then, they develop a care plan that aligns with your needs. Oftentimes, an x-ray, a diagnosis, and conservative treatment is all that is needed. When warranted, we carry most medications, offer physical thearpy in-house, and will monitor the injury closely until your employee is fully recovered.
What are some common types of workplace injuries?
At Edinger Urgent Care, the team treats a variety of workplace injuries, including:
Falls
If your job requires you to climb, wear harnesses, or work high above the ground, you’re susceptible to a fall injury. If you fall off a ladder or scaffold, the impact may result in a fracture, laceration, or damage to your internal organs. Therefore, it’s crucial to seek help right away.
Heat illness
Working outside in the summer sun increases the risk of dehydration or heat stroke. Take necessary safety precautions throughout the day. Drink plenty of water, stay in the shade whenever possible, and wear light-colored clothing that reflects the sun’s UV rays and protects your skin.
If you experience heat-related illness, Edinger Urgent Care can supply IV hydration, treat your sunburns, and make recommendations for your safety.
Repetitive stress injuries
If you regularly use power tools at work or perform the same movements over and over again, you might develop a repetitive stress injury like carpal tunnel syndrome or osteoarthritis. The team at Edinger Urgent Care & Occupational Medicine can take in-office X-rays, if necessary, and provide recommendations for treatment that ease your pain and improve mobility.
