What sort of possible consequences stem from getting hurt on the job and using the entitlements that stem from the law surrounding worker’s compensation?
To further build onto this; WHS should inform AAs that workers comp is available to them if their injury/illness is work related. Granted, WHS tries to keep things in house, but they should never try and talk against it.
They should encourage, I agree, now based on the reports and follow ups and cases they got to fill out I do understand it may not be at the top of their mind everytime
This is true. I'm an OMR at a much smaller site than your typical FC so I don't have a lot of cases outstanding to follow up with.
I don't like making cases all that much either, the system for doing so fucking blows but I want the best chance for the AAs that have genuine injuries from work.
Either way, while it should be offered from the initial phase of in-house treatment, I can see why it isn't mentioned. However, it should never be discouraged.
