Workplace Safety Programs

How can Workplace Safety Make a Difference?

Workers’ compensation injuries drain industrial resources, and most companies feel that there is nothing they can do about it. One serious injury or multiple injuries on the same job task can devastate a small or mid-size business. Even if your workers’ compensation carrier provides a safety program, they always know they can raise your premiums to recover their expenses if your claims are high.

But the problem may not stop just because the employee is released to return to work. Sometimes employees are released to “full duty” or “as tolerated”, when it probably is not appropriate – just because the treating physician is not familiar with the work done by the employee. Even employees that are injured away from work, or those with certain illnesses, can create work-related tragedies when the job is not properly accommodated following their return. The results could turn a personal illness into a work-related injury; and may even cause injury to other workers.

Prevention. Analysis. Return to Work.
