Workplace Health and Safety has introduced a new safety and tool kit, which aims to assist employers, training, education, and youth service providers as well as parents on the topic health and safety. This is in fact an excellent approach in maintaining the wellbeing of employees, especially the young and new ones in the industry. It’s also important to keep in mind that in any case of injury, workers compensation lawyers must be hired. They can point you to the right direction when it comes to your claims. In this article, we’ll talk about the contents of the new safety tool kit and give you some advice on filing claims.
New Safety Tool Kit
The tool kit from Workplace Health and Safety contains checklists, presentation templates, and films on how young employees should learn and communicate with their colleagues. Did you know that people aged between 15 to 24 already make up about 18% of the workforce here in Australia? Yes, and according to the recent statistics, approximately 4,400 young employees tend to encounter serious work-related injuries each year. Now that’s a lot of workers compensation to do.
The tool kit is aimed at employers, supervisors, trainers, and influencers to help the young workforce maximise their potential while staying safe and productive within the office grounds. Compensation lawyers would normally advise you to have an idea on the claiming process. And so does WHS. It’s important to hone the unique characteristics of these young people in order to positively impact their health and safety in the office setting. The tool kit is also aimed at managing the risks to the employee’s’ health and safety. You can check with your employer for a sample of the tool kit.
Injury Compensation
Work injury related compensation is pretty manageable to handle. Workers compensation serves as the protection of workers and employers in any event that they encounter an injury or a disease at work. The workers compensation system gives injured employees an entitlement to weekly payments or permanent impairment lump sums as well as medical and hospital treatment and rehabilitation. This is for people who have been injured while fulfilling their work obligations. Workers compensation will then cover your medical expenses and loss of earnings.
Part of the steps to take when filing compensation claims is getting in touch with a lawyer as soon as you have the opportunity. This is to give your lawyer’s enough time to gather necessary information, photographs if necessary, essential witness details, medical data, details of lost earnings, and other information. For over 35 years, our injury compensation lawyers at PK Simpson have been helping individuals make fair and reasonable claims.
