Evaluating Your Safety Program

John Smith is injured on the job and reports to a hospital emergency room.  Neither John nor his supervisor report the injury for several days and are non-cooperative when contacted by CBR’s Injury Counselor.  Meanwhile, John sits at home waiting for his injury to heal.  When things don’t go as desired, John hires an attorney.

It’s the perfect storm to wreck your workers comp rates!  (Not to mention, our Injury Counselor’s nightmare!)  In this scenario, at least four crucial things happened that will greatly affect our ability to assist the injured worker:

• The injured employee did not follow appropriate protocols in seeking treatment.
• The injury was reported late…or not at all.
• No Return-to-Work program was enforced.
• There is now an attorney involved.

Potentially, any one of the four will take a bite out of your bottom line.  Altogether they have the potential to cost your company a lot of money.  Let’s examine each of these factors and their potential impact.
