Since when are injuries suffered off the job considered \”worker\” or \”Employee\” injuries? Is OSHA trying to move into the field of personal conduct too? When will they start regulating our \”safety\” 24 hours a day like a Nanny-State? The government can\’t possibly protect people from their own stupidity, so they should quit infringing on our rights.
AMEN to you Ted. I wonder what happens if you don\’t attend one of these off-site safety meetings, are you fired??? Watch-out, not only is big brother watching, now your employer. Goodbye to our free way of life.
Come on now, I agree with the concept of injury-related deaths occuring off the job making no sense at all as they probably shouldn\’t be WC in most cases, although there are exceptions.
But REALLY: it\’s not about taking our freedom away or big brother. Just let the folks take some credit for reducing work related deaths and get off your democratic arguement bandwagon.
Back in the early to mid 90\’s, the subject of 24 hour coverage (Workers\’ Compensation and Health Insurance, LTD/STD combined with one TPA for claims)was touted as the possible future within those particular coverage areas. And it made absolute sense. Due to ERISA constraints, the concept never took off. Now those ERISA concerns are no longer concerns and this should be looked at as a VERY viable alternative to the existing format of multiple (and duplicate) coverage.
