We’re here to take care of you and your employees when the unexpected occurs. As part of our WorkSAFE Webinar series, we recently hosted a seminar titled “Claims Management: Effective Incident/Injury Management.”
Not able to tune in? Here are a few takeaways and best practices we covered. You can also view the presentation slides here or watch the webinar below.
Effective incident management starts with planning
A company-wide plan of action, in place before incidents occur, will help employers effectively manage on the job injuries. An effective injury management program should include:
- Drug and safety policies
- Thorough incident scene investigation and documentation
- Post-incident communication between all parties
- Pre-planned direction of authorized medical care
- Early return to work program
