O verburdened with safety regulations, closer inspections, and an increasing number of fraudulent claims, many employers are struggling to simply stay on top of all the paperwork and avoid costly penalties.
Employers often think of workers' compensation claims as being inevitable.
Management often has the attitude that there is little, if anything, they can do to reduce the number or severity of their claims. This attitude is passed on to the employees and they treat safety matters lightly. Employers everywhere are searching for ways to lower the cost of their Workers' Compensation benefits. They realize that the only way to lower costs is to reduce the number and severity of injuries. Employers want to avoid OSHA fines for failure to properly record and maintain the necessary workers' comp records.
