How to Reduce Workers' Compensation Claims!

Wow! What an expense this can be for any sized employer. Some claims can almost put an employer out of business if the employer failed to make good faith effort in protecting and getting injured employees proper care. So how can you reduce your exposure to Workers' Compensation Claims?


Well all you have to do is:
  1. Make sure you have a solid and good safety program in place with proper employee training.
  2. Make sure you hire good people with strong work ethics! If they genuinely want to work hard and do a good job then injuries are less likely to occur.
  3. Make sure all injured employees are sent to seek medical attention immediately. They need to have medical exams to ensure correct and timely treatment as well.
  4. Understand and recognize injuries not covered by Worker's Compensation. 
  5. Make sure all injured employees submit to a drug test post accident.
