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
