Staff Development and Training

Our consultants initially meet with management to:

• Determine areas where staff experience or expertise may be lacking
• Identify appropriate occupational health training that will reduce the probability of an on-site injury occurring in the first place
• Consult with management to determine if existing staff is adequate or if consideration should be given to expanding staff to meet your current occupational health needs
• Assist in hiring new personnel including employee prospect interviews and verification of employee qualifications

The consultation may include most, if not all of the following:

• Conduct a thorough review of all written policies and procedures that affect workplace occupational health issues
• Assist with the rewriting of established policies to update them and assure that critical issues have not been overlooked
• Assist with the writing of policies appropriate to your business that may not yet be in place
• Review written job descriptions to determine if they are up-to-date and assist in writing new or missing position descriptions
• Teach your HR staff to:
  • Compare current workers' compensation insurance coverage to your business needs, including review of the appropriateness of individual employee job classifications
  • Analyze claims in an effort to prevent specific types of claims from recurring
  • Conduct their own periodic on-site reviews of your workplace environment
  • Develop a "scorecard" for measuring the success of your in-house occupational health programs
