In a serious injury case next-of-kin will not be notified until it is confirmed through the immediate
supervisor as to the name(s) of the employee or contractor involved. In death cases notification will
not be made until confirmation comes from the responsible official charged with making those
determinations. (ie. coroner or doctor).
The Forest Supervisor or the designated acting will handle notification of next-of-kin. Such
notification will be made in person where feasible and will be coordinated with local law enforcement
officials.
