Employee Injury Reporting
The ACSC School Board directs that reasonable efforts be made to ensure a safe working environment for the employees of the Avon Community School Corporation.
Employees are required to report all accidents. Any accident which results in an injury to an employee; however slight, must be reported promptly to the 24/7 Nurse Triage Line.
If the injury is a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
For, non-life-threatening injuries, employees should do the following:
Step 1: Call (844) 454-1143 immediately to speak to a nurse.
