Workers' Compensation Perspectives

If you are reading this, you have an interest in workers’ compensation and workplace health and safety. The questions addressed here come from a variety of sources: participants in workshops I deliver, learners in courses I instruct, and my own inquiries from the research and consulting. I don't have all the answers but I post questions (and my responses) on topics I hope will improve workers' compensation, public policy and workplace health and safety

I am a student of workers’ compensation systems. Many years ago I discovered two things about this area. First, workers’ comp and OH&S are of vital importance to people. Protecting, caring for and providing compensation to workers are important, noble and morally responsible endeavors. The second thing I learned was that no matter how much I knew about workers' comp/OH&S, there was always so much more to learn. This is an endlessly challenging area of study. My purpose, therefore, is not to lecture, but to reflect on the ideas and issues that are topical in this area... and to invite others to share in a learning experience. By adding your knowledge and insights, others with similar interests can participate in the discovery and study of this important domain.
