Workers’ Comp

Workplace injuries are something every business has to deal with. Safety professionals are there to help protect both the safety of workers and the financial safety of the business. The best way to do that is to both understand the rules and regulations as well as the options for treatments. How long does a worker need to be out? How do we get the worker the most effective and efficient treatment? How can we be sure the injury is actually work related? Join us Thursday, September 7, where we will be covering Workers’ Comp and how to handle efficient treatment and determining causation of occupational injuries and Illnesses.
