Workers' Compensation – OSHA Requirements

Workers' Compensation and OSHA requirements work hand-in-hand to ensure workplace safety and employee protection. While Workers' Compensation provides financial and medical benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses, OSHA sets the safety standards that employers must follow to prevent such incidents. OSHA requires employers to create safe working environments by enforcing safety regulations, conducting risk assessments, and providing necessary training. Compliance with OSHA standards not only reduces the likelihood of workplace injuries but also helps control Workers' Compensation costs by minimizing claims and maintaining a safe workforce.
