In the event of an occupational accident, injury, illness or the near miss of an accident in the workplace, employers are required to perform a thorough, objective, professional investigation. The investigation’s purpose is to discover the reasons for the accident or near miss occurrence, and then rectify the situation so a further accident is avoidable or becomes less likely.
This webinar will give the non Occupational Safety professional an overview of the Workers Compensation system, and the interplay between Workers Compensation and OSHA. In addition, what to do when there is an accident, and how to investigate an accident. We will also cover several commonly occurring Workers Compensation problematic issues and briefly cover how to review the validity of a suspect claim.
