Written in layman's terms, not legalese or insurance-speak, this book is designed to help you understand how the Workers' Comp system works, and provide a basic understanding of injury prevention, types of injuries, and cost containment strategies. Although Workers' Comp regulations, procedures, and forms vary from state-to-state, the principles behind the system and the basics of compliance are almost identical. By focusing on these core principles, Wolff has prepared a guide to the topic which can be used by readers in any state in the nation. This book includes sample forms, checklists for work site evaluations, a directory of state and provincial workers' compensation administrators with full contact information, and an appendix containing portions of the US Chamber of Commerce analysis of Workers' Compensation laws. This US COC document provides comparisons of all state and Canadian provincial laws. Chapters include · Injuries and the Injured Worker · Types of Injuries · Medical Care Choices · Prevention · Ergonomics · Disability and Rehabilitation · and Workers' Compensation Strategies. Appendices · Cost Containment Studies · Type of Law and Insurance Requirements · Glossary · and more.
