Half of work-related injuries go unreported - by Aaron Thompson, Straight Goods, Canada
It has long been recognized that work-related injuries are underreported to workers' compensation boards, yet a review of the literature provides few empirical data. A study of Canadian households in 2002 revealed that 40 percent of eligible workplace injuries were not reported, and a survey of physicians in 2003 found that 208 of 384 (54 percent) of work-related injuries were inappropriately billed to the public health care system and not to workers' compensation boards. These statistics refer only to work-related injuries; work-related illnesses are underreported to an even greater extent.------------------------------------------- posted 6:46 AM :: reference link ::
