Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disciplining workers who have more than one workers' compensation claim is not a recommended step to reduce the number of claims. This could create a hostile work environment for employees and discourage them from reporting injuries or illnesses. Instead, the focus should be on preventative measures, such as implementing health and safety programs and complying with government safety standards, as well as providing support and rehabilitation for injured or ill workers. Career counseling can also be helpful in identifying less strenuous or stressful jobs for employees who may be at a higher risk for injury.
