A workplace injury can affect employees mentally and physically. When an employee gets injured at work, you want to provide quick and effective care. You also want a quality healthcare provider that can help an employee return to work as quickly and safely as possible — all while being mindful of care costs and OSHA processes.
Employers who don’t have a partnership with an occupational health provider often struggle with higher absenteeism, lingering injured worker claims and unnecessary ER visits that lead to higher recordability rates and costs per claim.
Prompt treatment with a worker’s compensation program can:
- Reduce unnecessary OSHA recordable events
- Ensure proper intuitive job restrictions
- Reduce time lost
- Speed recovery
- Prevent long-term complications
- Build trust between employee and employer
- Reduce health care costs
