Keeping workers safe and preventing fraudulent claims
The safety of workers on construction sites is critical, with 174,100 injuries and 1,034 deaths reported in 2020, underscoring the urgent need for robust safety measures.
Financial impacts are substantial, with worker’s compensation costs exceeding $7 billion annually and OSHA violations averaging $4,236 per citation, leading to increased insurance premiums for contractors.
Proactive safety measures include regular OSHA training, appointing dedicated safety managers, and utilizing technology like wearable devices and jobsite cameras to monitor and enhance safety.
Accurate documentation and monitoring can prevent fraudulent workers’ compensation claims and foster a safer, more transparent work environment, benefiting both workers and employers.
