Sec. 301.104  Medical attention.

    Whenever an inmate worker is injured while in the performance of 
assigned duty, regardless of the extent of the injury, the inmate shall 
immediately report the injury to his official work detail supervisor. In 
the case of injuries on work details for other federal entities, the 
inmate shall also report the injury as soon as possible to community 
corrections or institution staff, as appropriate. The work detail 
supervisor shall immediately secure such first aid, medical, or hospital 
treatment as may be necessary for the proper treatment of the injured 
inmate. First aid treatment may be provided by any knowledgeable 
individual. Medical, surgical, and hospital care shall be rendered under 
the direction of institution medical staff for all inmates based at 
Bureau of Prisons institutions. In the case of inmates based at 
community corrections centers, medical care shall be arranged by the 
work supervisor or by community corrections center staff in accordance 
with the medical needs of the inmate. Refusal by an inmate worker to 
accept such medical, surgical, hospital, or first aid treatment 
recommended by medical staff or by other medical professionals may 
result in denial of any claim for compensation for any impairment 
resulting from the injury.
