Legal Question in Employment Law in Washington

I am a dentist and one of my staff was poked by high speed handpiece bur, but she didn't get any blood. She said she felt knubness but it is getting better.

I recommend her to see doctor just in case.

I would like to know how to take care of workplace accident/injury and if I am responsible for her medical bill in this case.
