Before you sign your staff up for their yearly workers compensation
agreement you need to have a benchmark of their joint condition.
It would be a pity to provide an employee with a workers
compensation payout for injuring their back, when they already had a
back in poor condition.
Employers need to go even further than that.
If you know someone has a pre-existing injury and you don't have in
place an education program that lets them know what they
need to do to restore poor function to good, then you may find
yourself in court watching as the gavel comes down and your employee
trousering half a million dollars of your organisation's hard
earned.
You can read all about it in the
Workplace Accident Insurance
