Review of "Workers Compensation Management Program" This book is exactly what we needed to compliment Arthur J. Gallagher's results oriented Loss Control services for our clients with high workers' compensation costs. It helps guide them through the complex process of gaining management commitment for a workers' compensation cost reduction program. The suggestions for implementing transitional duty, communicating with employees, and reducing fraudulent claims are right on target. It provides suggested procedures that are customizable for any work place. Clients appreciated that we gave them such a useful tool to reduce their workers comp costs. R.F. Walker, Arthur J.

Review of "Workers Compensation Management Program" The role of the employer in its workers' comp claims has never been so thoroughly and clearly explained. As a desk reference, it is invaluable. It is one of the tools that should never be out of reach for a risk manager. Direct employer involvement with claims in the first weeks is the difference between success and failure. This manual will guide the conscientious employer through the pitfalls. T. Ronca, Workers Compensation Defense Attorney Long Island, NY
