Managing Workplace Injury

Who is the first report? There needs to be an assigned point person for injury situations and standardized plan of action. Once a dedicated procedure is implemented and the employees are notified of these practices, managing a workplace accident or injury has significant clarity.

With a set procedure, the air of suspicion or potential for an adversarial relationship between the worker and your company diminishes. The importance of a well documented employee file cannot be minimized from an investigation's perspective. Important documentation should be gleaned as it is critical in assisting your insurance carrier in managing a claim effectively.
