ACCIDENTS/WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
Any accident that results in injury while at work or that may result in any lost work time must be reported to ensure accurate record keeping. It is important that staff report all accidents regardless of how minor the injury may appear.
Therefore, we have developed the following as a guide for all to follow:
Accidents must be reported immediately to the Safety/Ski Patrol Department and supervisor.
Submit your injury report with the Human Resources department.
All other accidents (guest/visitor or traffic related) must be referred to the Security Department.
Accident reports are required for all incidents and will be completed by the Security Department.
When presenting the prescription or the doctor bill, indicate that you did this work for Big Sky and the prescription and the doctor bill are for a Workers Compensation Claim.
Failure to properly report an accident may result in denial of benefits and disciplinary procedure. As a Big Sky Resort Team Member, if you go skiing or snowboarding beyond the scope of your employment, and are injured while skiing or snowboarding, your claim may not be covered by Workers’ Compensation. If you choose to ride or ski during your break period, lunch, or at a time you have been relieved of you job related
duties, you are operating outside of your prescribed duties. Even though you may be on the clock at the time you are injured, if you are free skiing or snowboarding as defined above when you are injured your claim may be denied. The determination of whether you are free skiing beyond the scope of your employment will be made by the Worker’s Compensation on a case-by-case basis.
