When someone becomes injured at work, they need to know what
to do, and what not to do. The very first step is to obtain first aid or any
other medical treatment that is necessary. If a physician is needed, it is
important they are authorized by the workers’ compensation board and are experienced
in cases and claims. The next step is to notify management. Management will
need to know about the personal injury, when it occurred and the way in which it occurred.
Following early treatment, an individual may feel fully
recovered, or even worse. Pain physicians always encourage patients to be
upfront and clear about pain level and symptoms, so they can better determine
when the patient is able to safely return to work.
