The Claims You Can Make For Health And Safety Workplace Incidents

There are a number of things you need to do when you have a health and safety incident within the workplace. You should file a number of claims which we advise that you use in case of such a situation. Here they are:

• You need to display an “if you are injured…” poster where your employees can see it, so that you won’t be held responsible for a penalty.

• Track work-related injuries and illnesses with a Register of Injuries document.

• Ensure that you notify officials when there are incidents which may cause serious injuries or death at the workplace.

• Acknowledge the registration of an injured worker’s records of their injury or illness in the Register of Injuries.

• A doctor’s visit might be necessary for the worker’s injuries and illnesses at work and you may be contacted by the doctor to speak about possible return to work or options about alternative duties.

• Keep close contact with the injured worker so that they can feel some sort of comfort in knowing that you care.

• There must be the completion of the employer section of the Worker’s Injury Claim Form and acknowledge the claim in writing, after you receive the compensation claim.

A safe work place is crucial and ensuring that you have the right safety procedures and policies for things such as working at heights, first aid CPR, confined space entry, as well as things like WHMIS-GHS can create a great work environment that is safe and productive.
