The following procedures must be followed for all work related injuries.

All accidents/injuries must be reported immediately to your foreman or supervisor, even if no medical attention is required. A report of employee injury/accident must be completed whether or not medical attention is required. It will be placed in their medical file for future reference in case of problems.

2.) A Supervisors Report of Accident must be completed by the supervisor, or the person you report to on your assignment, at the same time the employee accident report is being filled out, regardless of whether medical attention is required. Both reports need to be faxed to DMG office at (8 17) 468-8868 and the original sent to the office.

3.) If the injury requires medical attention and is not an emergency situation, have your supervisor call (817) 784-0880 before going to a medical facility. In case of an emergency, have your supervisor call and report which medical facility you are transported to. We need to authorize treatment, arrange for proper billing, and determine that the facility follows proper procedures.

4.) If an employee must be off on disability, he/she must notify their DMG supervisor. Upon receiving a release to return to work, you must call the office.

6.) A drug screen is required for all injuries. In accordance with state law, a positive result relieves DMG from all responsibility for any medical costs. Costs incurred prior to the drug screed results may be deducted from your final check (s). Refusal to submit to a drug screen will result in the same consequences as a positive drug or alcohol test.

7.) I understand and agree to abide by the above accident procedures. I understand that any payments to me or anyone else for expenses in connection with my accident and resulting injury is not an admission of liability on the part ofDMG. In the event of an injury, I authorize full access to copies of medical records, radiology reports, drug/alcohol screenings, and documents of any kind relating to my past or present injury/illness to DMG. I hereby agree to release this information and hold all such medical providers harmless from the release of this information as set forth in this authorization.
