(B) For the employee's protection, job-related injuries, accidents, or illnesses must be reported the day that they occur, unless extenuating circumstances prevent the employee from reporting within that time frame.

(D) The department director or supervisor, as well as the City Clerk, shall be notified of all accidents involving city employees and/or city equipment as soon as possible, but in no event later than the next workday.
(E) Accidents involving either city-owned vehicles or personal vehicles being operated for city business shall be reported to law enforcement for investigation and employees may be required to submit to drug and alcohol testing pursuant to the Drug- and Alcohol-Free Workplace Policy.
(F) The city places great importance in this policy. All employees are obliged to comply. Any employee that is discovered to have been aware of a serious accident and failed to report it will face appropriate disciplinary consequences.
