nature, and exact extent of the injury. The work detail supervisor shall

shall also immediately inform community corrections or institution 
staff, as appropriate, of the injury. The injury report shall contain a 
signed statement from the inmate on how the accident occurred. The names 
and statements of all witnesses (e.g., staff, inmates, or others) shall 
be included in the report. If the injury resulted from the operation of 
mechanical equipment, an identifying description or photograph of the 
machine or instrument causing the injury shall be obtained, to include a 
description of all safety equipment used by the injured inmate at the 
time of the injury. Staff shall provide the inmate with a copy of the 
injury report. Staff shall then forward the original

Manager for review. In the case of inmates based at community 
corrections centers, the work detail supervisor shall provide the inmate 
with a copy of the injury report and shall forward the original and 
remaining copies of the injury report to the Community Corrections 
Manager responsible for the particular community corrections center 
where the inmate is housed.
    (b) The Institution Safety Manager or Community Corrections Manager 
shall ensure that a medical description of the injury is included on the 
BP-140 whenever the injury requires medical attention. The Institution 
Safety Manager or Community Corrections Manager shall also ensure that 
the appropriate sections of BP-140, Page 2, Injury--Lost-Time Follow-Up 
Report, are completed and that all reported work injuries are properly 
documented.
