Workers' Compensation

Workers’ compensation refers to a system that provides financial and medical benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. In the realm of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), workers’ compensation is a crucial component that ensures employees receive proper care and support if they’re injured or become ill due to their work. It aims to cover medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and, in some cases, disability benefits. Workers’ compensation laws vary by region, but they generally emphasize prompt access to medical treatment, fair compensation for lost income, and support for injured workers to return to work when feasible. Compliance with workers’ compensation regulations is essential for employers to protect their workers and fulfill their legal obligations regarding workplace safety and health.
