Reading all the posts relating to this subject makes me want to go over this topic in my policies and procedures. We have in the past created light duty positions case by case. We have always offered it but it's been in somewhat of a haphazard forma…

I agree that it's a touchy situation. What you might want to do is look into your states laws and find out what employers are required to have WC coverage. I know in my state not all employers have to have it. Example, if you hire someone to clean …

When I make out my OSHA log, um, I mean fill in my OSHA log within the stated time period after an injury.. I get out my workers compensation files. I go through each one and decide if it's considered a Reportable Incident. Someone who files a compa…

DOT requires annual reviews on any driver that falls under DOT regulations. That is any CDL driver that drives a Commercial Motor Vehicle that ways 26,001 pounds or more. There are really no exemptions to this particular rule. The only expemption th…
