Safety Corner - By Jake Sandau  

 

As we all know, workplace accidents can have a major effect on a workers' compensation policy. Workers' Compensation is a system that is there for a reason. However, it doesn't take many "bad apples" to ruin this system for the rest of us. Through proper incident investigation and knowledge of how to identify fraudulent claims, a business may be able to prevent reoccurrence of accidents and eliminate workers' compensation fraud. Please join the Montana State Fund for two FREE safety workshops on
Detecting Fraud and
Incident Investigation. See information on topics and locations below.


   

A Clue Towards Safety

March Safety Workshops

 

You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to understand the signs of workers' compensation fraud or how to investigate an incident at your workplace. What you need is a succinct workshop that will clue you in on simple steps to understanding and identifying these issues. Join our Safety Services Specialist, Kirk Smith and members of Montana State Fund's Special Investigation Unit this March as they present, A Clue Towards Safety.

 

Topics include:

 

Detecting Fraud: 

What is workers' compensation fraud? What can you do if you suspect it? Find out how to identify and report potential fraudulent claims that could be made by employees, employers and medical providers.  We will also highlight Montana State Fund's efforts to investigate fraud and recent court case rulings.

Incident Investigation:


This session will educate participants on the importance of investigating "incidents", not just accidents.  Just investigating accidents can prevent organizations from identifying problem areas before they cause accidents.  During this session, we discuss the different aspects of incident investigation from the philosophy and purpose to the techniques and tools needed to be successful in preventing future accidents.
