About this listen
This episode, titled "Workers' Compensation: A Safety First Guide," offers a comprehensive overview of workers' compensation, an employer-funded program designed to support employees who experience work-related injuries or illnesses. It explains that this "no-fault" insurance covers medical expenses, wage replacement, and rehabilitation, with premiums calculated based on industry risk and workforce size. The guide outlines the roles of both employers and employees in reporting incidents and managing claims, emphasizing the importance of thorough documentation and open communication throughout the recovery process. Finally, it highlights that provincial and territorial boards in Canada oversee these systems, aiming to minimize the impact of workplace incidents and facilitate a safe return to work.
