Stevenson, D F

The author discusses the general legal, social and legislative climate of workers' compensation programs in the 1980s. He then makes nine suggestions for conducting a workers' compensation program at the plant level. The important part of the program, he says, is to avoid the ''adversary'' or ''confrontation'' approach that has become characteristic of so many workers' compensation cases. This always increases costs. Implicit, too, in this program is a simple matter of human relationships. An injury is a serious matter to an employee and requires comfort from the employer.
