Understanding Workers' Compensation: A Guide for Safety and Health Professionals [Paperback]

Written in layman's terms, not legalese or insurance-speak, this book is designed to help you understand how the Workers' Comp system works and to provide a basic understanding of injury prevention, types of injuries, and cost containment strategies. Although Workers' Comp regulations, procedures, and forms vary from state-to-state, the principles behind the system and the basics of compliance are almost identical. By focusing on these core principles, the author has prepared a guide to the topic which can be used by readers in any state in the nation.
