Managing OHS Claims

This workshop will explore the factors relating to the management of workplace injuries and its interrelation to workplace safety. Through my experience in managing workplace injuries, the cost of Valmar’s claims experience has decreased by almost 66% over a four year period. Much of this reduction is attributed to an active involvement in getting injured workers back to work ASAP through liaison with the workplace, insurers, the injured worker, doctors and allied health professionals.
