OJ CONSTRUCTION INC. Employees are a vital component in controlling the cost of workers’ compensation. By far the best way to lower cost is to practice preventive measures such as safety in the workplace, conducting safety briefings and providing the necessary training and equipment for the job; you will create the best possible workplace for the employees. Should a on the job injury occur, the best way to control cost and prevent fraud is to educate the employee on workers’ compensation rights and insure benefits are paid timely. Employees who are unhappy and feel they are being treated unfairly are twice as likely to file a fraudulent claim as those who have been educated on their rights. Another way to lower the cost of a claim is to provide modified work (light duty) for our employees. Early return to work benefits you and the employee. We will assist you in developing a light duty program for all injured workers’. Any Occupational Injury/Accident or Illness Must Be Reported In 24 Hours and processed as directed.
