As training objectives, recognition of job hazards, learning safe work practices and appreciating other preventive measures are expected to contribute to the goal of reducing occupational risk of injury and disease. This report reviews data found in the literature reflecting the significance of training in meeting these kinds of objectives and outcomes. As will be seen, there is much positive evidence but the results seem very selective and highly qualified. An analysis to identify factors underlying a successful training experience is also presented and does confirm basic principles of learning. Here too, however, important gaps are noted in the available data.

  • Effect of WC Subrogation Waiver Endorsement Chart (00214587-1)
    MATTHIESEN, WICKERT & LEHRER, S.C. Hartford, WI ❖ New Orleans, LA ❖ Orange County, CA ❖ Austin, TX ❖ Jacksonville, FL Phone: (800) 637-9176 [email protected] www.mwl-law.com WORKERS’ COMPENSATION SUBROGATION WAIVER ENDORSEMENTS IN ALL 50 STATES Most state workers’ compensation laws, or cases construing them, allow the employer and its carrier to waive its right to subrogate against a third party that caused or contributed to an employee’s injury, its right to reimbursement from a tort recovery obtained by the employee, or its right to a future credit based on such a recovery. The purpose of a subrogation waiver is not well understood and is a subject of some confusion in the marketplace. Most frequently, contracting parties agree to contractually require the inclusion of a waiver of subrogation endorsement in a workers’ compensation policy simply because the requirement is contained in the form contract, and has been for many years. On other occasions, the requirement is included in the belief that such a waiver will provide some protection or immunity from lawsuits filed by employees of other subcontractors. Unfortunately, an effective waiver of subrogation does not prevent a subcontractor’s employee from filing suit against the contractor. It only prevents the subcontractor’s workers compensation carrier from initiating a third-party subrogation action, seeking reimbursement out of a third-party recovery obtained by the employee, and/or taking advantage of a future credit. In turn, this deprives the small subcontractor of a subrogation recovery and the positive effect such a recovery would have on its risk modifier and future workers’ compensation premiums.

    CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN 2021 HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN Federal Fiscal Year 2021 (October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021) PREPARED FOR U. S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION PREPARED BY CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY Barbara L. Rooney, Director State of California Gavin Newsom, Governor California Office of Traffic Safety Barbara L. Rooney, Director 2208 Kausen Drive, Suite 300 Elk Grove, CA 95758 Office (916) 509-3030 • www.ots.ca.gov Dear Fellow Californians: I am pleased to present California's 2021 Highway Safety Plan, which outlines the state's efforts to keep California at the forefront of traffic safety. This year, $93.7 million in federal transportation safety funds have been awarded to support agencies across the state for a wide range of innovative, results-driven programs. In all, 420 grants have been awarded in the areas of alcohol and drug-impaired driving, occupant protection, pedestrian and bicycle safety, emergency medical services and police traffic services. Earlier this year, the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) team outlined their 2020-2023 Strategic Management Plan that serves as a roadmap toward a renewed vision of a California where every person, regardless of their mode of travel, will Go Safely. Achieving this vision will only happen through meaningful collaboration with traffic safety partners at every level. This 2021 Highway Safety Plan shows that collaboration in action. Recognizing a growing trend of deaths and serious injuries on California roadways, the OTS took a proactive approach to expand new grant programs with additional partners, including Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), local Departments of Transportation, Public Health Departments and Active Transportation Grant recipients.
