Since the best way to treat an injury is to never get it in the first place, a proactive approach involving strategic planning to minimize injury should be taken by all employers and employees, especially where the risk of injury is high. This would include workers who sit for extended periods of time, perform repetitive movements, and workers who lift or move heavy objects. For injury prevention and ergonomic information - ranging from proper work station setup to correct lifting techniques - please visit "Ergonomics" in the "WELLNESS CENTER" section of our site. Making a false or fraudulent workers' compensation claim is a felony subject to up to five years in prison or a fine of up to $50,000 or double the value of the fraud, whichever is greater, or by both imprisonment and fine.
Injury prevention and ergonomic programs are designed to reduce the number of injuries occurring in the workplace.
