Employee injuries and associated workers’ compensation costs are a management problem-not an insurance problem, not an employee problem, and not a fraud problem. With proper management, injuries and workers’ compensation costs can be controlled. This seminar is designed to help trucking companies reduce their injury rate and workers’ compensation costs. Experts familiar with workers’ compensation and the trucking industry will teach you how to:

• Design an injury prevention program• Manage internal and external claims

processing• Start benchmarking your company against

industry leaders• Spot fraud before it occurs• Use our checklists and formats to assess

your program (Note: Managing Workers’ Compensation

Injuries and Costs requires a separate regis-tration and payment of fee directly to NATMI. Please use the NATMI registration form in this brochure to register for the course, and return directly to NATMI.)
