ÀÖ²¥ÊÓƵ strives to provide safe working conditions for all employees. If an employee or student worker believes they have suffered a work-related injury or illness, they may be eligible for Worker\u2019s Compensation benefits. Every WOU employee is held responsible for understanding and following university procedures in the event of an injury or illness that is work related. If a claim is filled out incorrectly, or is not completed within 24 hours of the incident, the employee may lose Worker\u2019s Compensation benefit eligibility.<\/p>\n
Reminder: Worker\u2019s Compensation coverage at the university does not extend to the general student population, volunteers, contractors, or faculty on a courtesy appointment. If an incident should occur to these populations, please contact Campus Public Safety at 503-838-8481 (Main Office) or 503-838-9000 (Emergency Line).<\/p>\n

We will make every effort to make this commitment a reality by providing adequate training to our staff and correcting unsafe conditions as a matter of practice. We will be proactive in ensuring a safe university community for all.<\/p>\n The safety of our campus is everyone\u2019s 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 coworkers, students, or the public in general, you should report the condition to your supervisor, Facilities Services, Campus Public Safety, or Human Resources at once.<\/p>\n ÀÖ²¥ÊÓƵ maintains policies specifying guidelines for appropriate conduct and disciplinary action. As with all violations of policy, violations of safety policies may subject employees to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. The university follows typical procedures for progressive discipline, generally providing warnings before such action is taken. We do not wish this policy to discourage employees from coming forward about real and legitimate safety concerns, but egregious community members will be taken very seriously. The university reserves the right to determine on a case by case basis the seriousness of the violation and the level of disciplinary action.<\/p>\n Phones numbers for reporting unsafe conditions:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_heading title=”Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), is a federal law that requires employers to provide job protection to qualifying employees who take time off for a serious health condition and other qualifying absences from work.
