Workers' Compensation at The University of Montana is managed by Environmental
Health and Risk Management. The program is designed to provide injured
employees with easy access to the work comp insurance system if they are
injured on the job. While we want to ensure that everyone injured in our
employ is provided with high quality medical care leading to a rapid and
healthy return to work, we want to preclude accidents and occupational
injuries wherever possible.
Most accidents (over 90%) are caused by unsafe acts; not unsafe conditions.
If you see an unsafe condition, you must report it to your supervisor immediately.
Unsafe acts are more difficult to identify. We all know that an open, unguarded
manhole or a bare electrical wire can be an accident waiting to happen (an
unsafe condition). Standing on top of a step ladder, not using hearing or eye
protection and lifting badly are unsafe acts. The University of Montana intends
to provide safety training and any necessary safety equipment for all employees.
