Loss control and loss prevention: a good marriage in Ohio

Article Abstract:

The Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation scheme efficiently aids in loss control and loss prevention through its advisory facilities aimed at enhancing a company's claims management. By enrolling into the Ohio Workers Compensation Insurance Fund, it also provides consultative utilities for insurance strategies, rehabilitation, industrial hygiene as well as engineering and ergonomic programs. This service program enabled Ohio to restore more than 75% of the premiums to enrolled employers in 1997, saving approximately $4 billion.

Feel their pain

Article Abstract:

Musculoskeletal disorders cost employers about $20 billion in workers' compensation each year. Companies are urged to evaluate the risks factors for work-related musculoskeletal disorders. They are also recommended to examine effective control measures such as job and workplace redesign, use or ergonomic systems, exercise programs, and job rotations. Meanwhile, the OSHA plans to introduce a proposal of its ergonomics standard in Sep 1999 to promote a greater awareness of ergonomics and ergonomics regulation.
