SUCCESS STORY

Effective Post Injury Response

Successful employers, demonstrating responsible management, implement a post-injury procedure and communicate that to employees to ensure prompt medical care and return to work quickly after an injury.

One of our most popular tools is the Post Injury Procedure Stacked Steps. The "Stacked Steps" outline post-injury response procedures by participant role. Employees can flip through the "Stacked Steps" to see a specific post-injury response procedure and contact information for each participant, i.e., the employee, supervisor, medical doctor.
 

Communication tools must fit the environment in which they are used. This type of tool is perfect for a visor, glove box, or near a telephone.

                                Stacked Steps
 

Want to learn these techniques? Our book, Manage Your Workers Compensation Program: Reduce Your Costs 20-50%has a variety of tried and true cost savings for employers. The tool kit contains the tools.
