Workers’ Compensation Return-to-Work Program

HUB Risk Consultants and The Hartford worked together to tailor a publication titled Return-to-Work: Ability Management Guidelines for Veterinary Practices. The goal was to help veterinary practices implement an effective return-to-work program that would control claim costs (disability or indemnity) and enhance human resource benefit programs.

Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

There are many different types of work-related injuries that can occur in a veterinary hospital. One risk management process that you can implement in your hospital to help reduce the frequency and severity of employee injuries is to conduct an analysis of each job and task that your employees perform. A job safety analysis (JSA) is a procedure that helps integrate accepted safety practices into a particular task. The goal of a JSA is to identify hazards and to recommend the safest instructions and protective measures to complete the job.
