Valente, Esq., will discuss some of the solutions and strategies used by employers to both prevent and control common workplace injury claims. A review of common injuries employers face every day in the workplace injury realm, ranging from slip and fall claims to back injuries from lifting, and other traumatic events will be discussed, as well as some of the strategies that employers use to prevent workplace injuries from occurring and provide cost effective ideas that can be implemented to track injuries and train employees. Mr. Valente will outline ways to control common workplace injuries after they occur; drawing on his experiences he will provide thoughts for how to handle immediate incident management, what information is important to have, how to work with the insurance company and how to work with the employee.
