Reporting a student accident or injury
If a student is injured, whether working as a student employee or during a university event, a university employee must immediately:
- Email People & Culture at peopleandculture@georgefox.edu (if the injury happened while the student was working).
- Submit a Fox 360 Student Update as a “frontline user” as soon as possible.
- Once this form is submitted, it will be dispatched by our student care coordinator and communicated to the necessary teams for follow-up. If in doubt, it is better to submit a report than miss the opportunity to support the student effectively!
Criteria for submitting an accident or injury report include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Injury beyond a minor bump or scrape
- Injury involving blood
- Head trauma or concussion
- Chemical exposure
- Loss of consciousness
- Heat-related issues
- Any accident or injury involving a call to 911, an ambulance, or Campus Public Safety
- Critical injury
- Death
When a student is injured and if you are a trained first aid/CPR provider, please offer assistance; however, everyone needs to follow these steps:
- Dial or have someone dial 911. Give the location of the injured student and send someone to meet them at the door(s) for the building.
- Dial or have someone dial Campus Public Safety (503-554-2090).
- Send someone to get the closest first aid kit and the AED. All buildings with hearts have AEDs or first aid kits available.
- Follow first aid and CPR training until Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue arrives.
If you wish to become a trained first aid/ CPR provider, reach out to Kim Knoernschild at kknorschild@georgefox.edu. For questions about Fox 360 Care submissions, email Jere Witherspoon at jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu
