A brief description of when and why the workplace health and safety baseline was adopted:
To publish a Sonoma State University risk management policy as required by CSU Executive Order (E.O.) No. 715, California State University Risk Management Policy, dated October 27, 1999 and effective October 27, 1999. Risk management is an ongoing practice of assessments and evaluations of conditions with the principal goal of eliminating unsafe conditions to students, employees, volunteers and visitors, minimizing damages to physical property and structures, and mitigating administrative and judicial litigation to the maximum extent possible.
A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives:
The purpose of workers' compensation is to provide medical care to employees who are injured at work as well as compensation if the employee cannot work due to the injury. Workers' Compensation is a program that provides benefits to the employee no matter who was at fault. The University and its auxiliaries provide Workers' Compensation to all of its employees injured on the job, including paid student assistants. Benefits provided are: Medical Care: Doctor visits, hospital services, physical therapy, lab tests, x-rays, and medicines that are reasonably necessary to treat your injury.
Temporary Disability Benefits: Payments if one loses wages while recovering.
Permanent Disability Benefits: Payments if one's injury causes a permanent disability.
Vocational Rehabilitation: Services and payments if one's injury prevents them from returning to their usual job or occupation. This benefit applies to injuries that occurred prior to January 1, 2004.
Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit: A nontransferable voucher payable to a state approved school if one is injured on or after January 1, 2004, the injury results in a permanent disability, they don’t return to work within 60 days after Temporary Disability ends, and your employer does not offer modified or alternative work.
Death Benefits: Paid to dependents of a worker who dies from a work-related injury or illness.
