Bob Malhotra knows what it is like to be on both ends of the Workers Compensation scenario. As one of the co-founders of the most-visited in Hilliard, Ohio, online OSHA safety training site, he knows what it is like to have to cover the rates for this form of insurance and the exponentially rising costs associated with a worker injury. “I have personally written checks totally over 100,000 dollars a year for the WC premiums and that is not including the cases where one of my employees was injured!” Bob said in a staff meeting at the home offices of Online OSHA Safety Training. “It is important to have an injury prevention program in place at all times and in all businesses.’
Bob’s Daily Duties
Paying for and making certain that the law is followed to the “T” is only part of Bob’s daily duties, but it is one of his pet peeves when he reads about or hears through the grapevine, that a competitor in the OSHA 10 Hour Safety Training realm, has allowed a workplace accident to close the doors of the business. The other part of the experience that this man has from and about workers compensation fees and injuries on the job stems from a time a while back where Bob was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
OTJ Headaches!
“I was working on removing a fallen tree from a neighbor’s car when I was struck by a broken limb that was dislodged from the tree. The limb struck me on top of my head and even with the approved PPE outfit and the hardhat perched upon my head the force was so great that it sent me straight to the ground!” Bob said. ‘I was taken to the ER and given a CAT scan and what the doctors discovered was that I had a hairline fracture and was ordered off work and into a WC case filing.”
Endorsing a Fitness Program
The moral of this story is that a worker can never be too careful in the workplace and on the job site. By endorsing a fitness program at the workplace, the costs and the overall good feeling that comes from these types of injury protection are lowered and raised, respectively.
