Background

Effective claims management involves a proactive approach towards minimizing costs associated with workplace illness and injuries, all while supporting workers and their families throughout the process. Having an effective Claims Management Program requires a combined effort of an effective safety program and injury management. Safety programs support in the prevention of work related illness and injury, while injury management focuses on return to work through the use of modified duties, legal obligations of employers to maintain workers confidentiality, communication with injured worker, and the use of standardized documents.

Description

Participants will become familiar with incident reporting per WCB requirements, costs associated with claims, and the advantages of having a modified and return-to-work program.
