In September 2010, at the request of the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), an independent review of its funding and related matters was conducted, and to advise the Minister of Labour as to what would constitute "a fair level of indexation for partially disabled workers." The Funding Review was asked to consider six specific issues: the WSIB's unfunded liability (UFL); premium rate setting; rate groups; employer incentives; occupational diseases; and indexation of benefits for partially disabled workers.--Document.
Workplace injuries are common, avoidable, and unacceptable. The Political Economy of Workplace Injury in Canada reveals how employers and governments engage in ineffective injury prevention efforts, intervening only when necessary to maintain standard legitimacy. Barnetson sheds light on this faulty system, highlighting the way in which employers create dangerous work environments yet pour billions of dollars into compensation and treatment. Examining this dynamic clarifies the way in which production costs are passed on to workers in the form of workplace injuries.
Topics covered include low back pain in workers' compensation, payroll taxes, unfunded liabilities, occupational health and safety, private participation, the cost, appeals litigation.
Written in layman's terms, not legalese or insurance-speak, this book is designed to help you understand how the Workers' Comp system works and to provide a basic understanding of injury prevention, types of injuries, and cost containment strategies. Although Workers' Comp regulations, procedures, and forms vary from state-to-state, the principles behind the system and the basics of compliance are almost identical. By focusing on these core principles, the author has prepared a guide to the topic which can be used by readers in any state in the nation.
