Injuries to a Coach Or Other Employee

WORKER’S COMPENSATION PROGRAM

INJURIES TO A COACH OR OTHER EMPLOYEE

Coaches, both paid and volunteer, are covered by the Tamalpais Union High School District’s workers’ compensation program. If a coach sustains an injury at practice or during a game, the following procedures apply:

1. Call the Kaiser advice nurse (whether or not you are a current Kaiser member) at 1 (877) 247-7710 within 24 hours of the injury. The advice nurse at this number is available 24/7 to assist you with first aid and/or directions for seeing a doctor at the Kaiser On-the-Job occupational health facility in Terra Linda, if needed, and for reporting a workers’ compensation claim, if necessary.

2. Complete Form DWC-1 (see next page), available from the Principal’s secretary or athletic director, and send it to TUHSD Human Resources. This document will begin the workers’ compensation claim process and needs to be completed the day following the injury when you return to your coaching assignment if you are absent. Human Resources will send this form to the District’s workers’ compensation administrator, York Insurance Services Group. York will then be responsible for managing your claim and may be contacting you with questions about your injury.

3. If you have any questions regarding workers’ compensation, please contact the TUHSD Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources, 415-945-3722.
