Workers’ Compensation Coverage – Adequate Protection for Your Workforce
Workers’ compensation insurance provides financial relief to those who are injured on the job. Review the tips below. They will provide your workforce with adequate protection.
Report Promptly
Hold a meeting with your workforce. During this meeting, describe the types of incidents that would need to be reported. Your employees should feel comfortable relaying information to you about any accidents that occur on the premises.
Reporting an incident promptly will guarantee that an injured worker receives the medical care needed to return to work as quickly as possible.
Educate Managers
Educate your managers about the types of accidents that should be reported. Ensure that each one knows the proper protocol to follow if an accident occurs.
Provide each manager with paperwork that is needed whenever an incident occurs that needs to be recorded. Create a filing system that will allow you to keep the accident paperwork organized.
Keep Clear Records
Designate an area to store a copy of each accident report. The area you choose should be easy to access. If you have any questions about a particular accident that resulted in an insurance claim, you will be able to easily retrieve the paperwork that pertains to the incident.
Follow Up With The Injured
Follow up with anyone who is injured on the job. Make sure that an injured employee feels valued. Reassure the injured that their job will be available when they are healthy enough to return to work.
