AGC Safety & Health Council
Your input is so helpful! Thank you for answering two quick questions.
1.
The upcoming November 19 council meeting will focus on issues safety professionals face when navigating workers' comp claims. Please select scenarios from the list below that you would like to have addressed. You may select as many as you would like.
I have a worker who filed a workers' compensation claim, and we have information that the worker was not injured on the job. Can we investigate this, and if so, how?
I have a worker who was clearly injured on the job and clearly needs medical treatment but will not seek medical treatment.
I have an employee who was injured on the job and should have filed a workers' comp claim, but instead put the injury on his own insurance, even when told to file the claim through WC insurance.
I have an employee who does not want to file a WC injury claim because he believes it will hurt the company’s policy status.
I have an employee who filed a claim at a clinic but refuses to return to work to file the 801 form.
Is the employer allowed to go with the employee to the clinic?
My company turned in a claim for a worker that injured his back. He is receiving lost time benefits and indicated he cannot stand very long or lift any weight. I turned over to the carrier a video of him running up hills and packing out meat while elk hunting. The carrier has not indicated that they will investigate the claim any further. Why might this be happening and do I have any recourse?
Can I recommend that a worker seek care at an occupational medical clinic that we regularly do business with?
I have an employee who is out on lost time benefits and refuses to come back to restricted duty work? What can I do? Can I terminate him?
An employee has threatened to sue me and my company for an injury he sustained at work. Can he legally do this, and how do I protect myself and my company?
