Workers compensation claims are in the restaurant industry is lead by cuts and punctures representing 23.9 % of the claims. The average claim cost is $2,607.  All other claims are strains from lifting, burns and scalding, striking an object or being struck and stepping on an object.  Job smart tutorials are first and best at teaching best practices in safety.  But, more importantly, teaching managers and staff, the psychological effects of fatigue and distraction as it relates to accidents. Job Smart tutorials have proven to be the most effective way to build awareness of “near miss” fatigue and distraction points. This knowledge prevents accidents. A secondary gain, of the "near miss "training, is the enhancement of supervisory knowledge i.e. guiding them to recognize and instantly accommodate for fatigue and distraction in employees.

 

Job Smart Outcome: Keeping focused on high standards increases productive time and reduction of the cost of workers compensation.

The cost calculated for each claim averaged $3,550 per establishment. Slips, Trips, and Falls were cited as the most frequent general liability claim. Consistent with Job Smart job safety analysis and tutorials ,maintaining a non-slip environment means recognizing the potential for accidents and intervening before the accident.  Job Smart safety inspection protocols and training maintain due diligence.
