Workers’ Compensation Toolkit

This Workers’ Compensation Toolkit was designed to help your organization build an effective Safety and Wellness Program. Each month, we have identified specific safety topics for you to focus on with your staff at staff meetings or with your safety committee. These topics were specifically chosen to coincide with seasonal changes you may be experiencing like inclement weather or hiring summer staff.

If your organization is still in the process of building a Safety and Wellness Program, these resources will also help you begin that process:
