In the event of an injury

In the event of injury; please do the following:

• See the doctor of your choice and tell them you are not under workmans comp.
  • You work under the Federal Employers Liability Act
• You are only required to report the injury and fill out the injury report form, nothing else.  (Keep a copy of the injury report form.)
• Do not allow any BNSF officer to be involved in your medical treatment in any way.
