The California JPIA is hosting the next installment of its Workers’ Compensation Webinar series on Thursday, November 9, at 10:00 a.m. focusing on the labor shortage and aging workforce challenges. As older workers remain in their jobs longer and short-tenured workers rapidly fill vacant positions, preventing injuries has become more difficult. Safety National’s Senior Medical Manager Stacy Whalen and Director of Risk Services Ed Pratt will review how the aging workforce leads to more injuries, thereby increasing medical costs and lost work time. The webinar will also cover how factors such as employee training and wellness programs can help prevent injuries.
Members who wish to attend this webinar can register on the event website. Questions should be directed to the Authority’s Workers’ Compensation Program Manager Jeff Rush by email or at (562) 467-8707.
