Reporting Employee Injuries

Procedure for Reporting Employee injuries

• An employee must immediately report the injury to their supervisor.
• If necessary, the supervisor will ensure that first aid is provided and that the injured employee receives medical treatment.
• The supervisor will ensure that the “Hlášení pracovního úrazu“ (Work Injury Report) form is completed and sent to hlaseni.urazu@uhk.cz.
• The supervisor will investigate the circumstances and causes of the injury and implement measures to prevent similar injuries again.
• The OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) specialist will ensure that the completed form is recorded in the Employee Injury Register.
• The Employee Injury Register is kept by the maintenance supply clerk.

In case the employee receives medical examination or treatment:

• During the medical examination/treatment, the employee must ask the doctor to complete the “Posudek o bolestném“ (Pain Assessment Report) in case the injury is to be reported to the insurance company (Kooperativa).
• The employee must also complete „Čestné prohlášení“ (a Statutory Declaration) for insurance purposes in Czech language.
• The injured employee sends the original copies of the following documents to the maintenance supply clerk:
• Posudek o bolestném (Pain Assessment Report)
• Čestné prohlášení (Statutory Declaration)
• records of all medical examinations and treatment related to the accident
• all documents confirming payments related to the treatment

After being reviewed by the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) specialist, these documents will be forwarded to the insurance company for assessment and claim processing.
