/Sent on behalf of Mary Logue, JLab Associate Director of the 
Environment, Safety Health and Quality Division


After shoveling snow on site after our January 22 snow storm, one of our 
employees woke the next day with pain in the lower back. Attributing it 
to sore muscles, he did not report the injury. The pain steadily 
decreased over the next few days, but shoveling snow on January 29 
aggravated this injury, such that by early March, he reported the pain 
to his supervisor and sought medical attention at an urgent care center. 
He was given prescription medication and job-limiting restrictions.


Jefferson Lab has had two injuries this year in which the employees did 
not report their symptoms when they first appeared. As a result, the 
employees' injuries continued to be aggravated, and both ended up with 
additional pain and extended recovery time.


It is laboratory policy to report any work injury to Occupational 
Medicine (x7539), so that the injury can be properly treated. Any 
soreness, strains, sprains, cuts or bumps that are the result of work at 
Jefferson Lab should be reported. If you believe the injury is truly 
minor, reporting can be achieved by a simple phone call to OccMed, who 
will then decide whether or not you need to be seen.


Early intervention by OccMed staff can prevent a minor injury from 
evolving into something more significant that may impact your ability to 
work. Remember, there is no activity so urgent or important that we will 
compromise safety.

Any questions, contact me./
