As an employer, your responsibilities include maintaining a safe workplace and a current workers compensation insurance policy to protect yourself and your workers from financial hardship in the event of a workplace injury.
You also need to understand the claims process and what you can do to assist an injured worker return to work safely.
Compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000, the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001, the Workers Compensation Act 1987 and the Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998 is also part of your responsibility as an employer.
