Have you experienced a work-related injury? You're not alone; millions of individuals in the US face workplace injuries each year. Amidst the chaos of dealing with a recent injury in a busy workplace—juggling paperwork, navigating occupational health laws—it's easy to feel overwhelmed. We're here to assist you in determining the next steps for receiving the quality medical care you deserve and swiftly getting back on the path to healing.

Report Your Injury to Your Supervisor

If you've sustained an injury at work, the first crucial step is to report it to your supervisor. Don't feel embarrassed or downplay your injury; be honest about your pain level and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Informing your workplace promptly is vital, allowing them to take the necessary measures to secure the medical assistance you require. This could involve on-site first-aid treatment, arranging emergency medical help, or connecting you with a workers' comp doctor within their insurance network.

During this process, if your injury isn't a medical emergency, you'll likely need to fill out a workplace accident report. If not provided by a supervisor, create your own to ensure proper documentation of the injury's circumstances. Be sure to detail what you were doing when injured, who instructed you, and if there were any witnesses to the incident.

Seek Medical Help    

Seeking immediate treatment is key to enhancing your chances of a swift and complete recovery. If your injury is potentially life-threatening, head to the emergency room without delay. Even if it's not an emergency, seeing a doctor promptly is crucial, but it's essential to choose the right one for your specific circumstances.

Selecting a provider approved by your employer and their insurance company ensures coverage for your medical care. According to the Michigan government's official website, "During the first 28 days when care begins, the State of Michigan’s Workers' Compensation Third Party Administrator, Sedgwick, has the right to select the medical care providers. After that 28-day period, you are free to change doctors if you wish." Fortunately, Michigan boasts a lengthy list of high-quality medical facilities approved to accept workers' compensation.

Visit an Approved Urgent Care Center

Approved urgent care centers offer an excellent option for receiving prompt, high-quality care for your workplace injury. If you've experienced a bone fracture or a significant fall at work, spending hours waiting in an emergency room is the last thing you need. When you're injured and missing work, waiting weeks for a doctor's appointment is not ideal. Urgent care centers welcome patients without appointments, allowing you to walk in and promptly receive treatment for your injury.

MyHealth is now offering fit respirator testing services at our Warren facility. A respirator fit test determines if a tight-fitting respirator can be worn without any leaks. It is a crucial step that should take place after an employee has been medically cleared to wear a respirator and before they wear it on the job.

At MyHealth, we understand the importance of ensuring the safety and well-being of our clients in their workplace environments. That's why we offer comprehensive fit respirator testing to help protect employees from airborne contaminants effectively.

Here's what you need to know about our fit respirator testing services:

• Fit respirator testing is required for all tight-fitting respirators.
• Employees must complete the fit test using a respirator that's the same make, model, and size as the one they will wear on the job.
• The test is conducted while the employee wears any other required equipment, such as glasses.

If you or your organization require fit respirator testing services, please don't hesitate to reach out to schedule an appointment. Our experienced team is committed to providing high-quality testing and exceptional customer service.
