All employers are required by law to cover their workers for damages that result from work related injuries or illnesses, or to compensate surviving spouses or minor children when a worker is killed at work.
Knowledge of the workers compensation system should be understood by all safety professionals, and those that are relied upon by their employers to manage the system must be well aware of how to control the costs of the insurance premiums.
What you'll learn
This course will cover the fundamentals of the coverage requirements, options for obtaining the coverage, how premiums are calculated and how claims affect the cost and availability of continued coverage.
