Rate Effects

This paper presents a numerical simulation, based on data from the early 1970s, to investigate the economic links between labor market outcomes and the workers' compensation insurance system. The results suggest that, in most cases, any of three changes in the system—more generous benefits, more accurate categorization of insurance claims, or more complete experience rating of premiums—will slightly reduce the actual number of work-related injuries but will dramatically increase the number of insurance claims filed. The authors conclude that changes in self-reported injuries can produce significant misimpressions of the safety incentives created by the workers' compensation insurance system.

Background Professional dancers experience high rates of musculoskeletal injuries. Objective To analyze the effect of comprehensive management (case management and intervention) on injury incidence, time loss, and patterns of musculoskeletal injury in a modern dance organization. Study Design Retrospective/prospective cohort study. Methods Injury data were analyzed over a 5-year period, 2 years without intervention and 3 years with intervention, in a modern dance organization (42 dancers). The number of workers’ compensation cases and number of dance days missed because of injury were compared across a 5-year period in a factorial design. Results Comprehensive management significantly reduced the annual number of new workers’ compensation cases from a high of 81% to a low of 17% and decreased the number of days lost from work by 60%. The majority of new injuries occurred in younger dancers before the implementation of this program. Most injuries involved overuse of the lower extremity, similar to patterns reported in ballet companies. Benefits of comprehensive management included early and effective management of overuse problems before they became serious injuries and triage to prevent overutilization of medical services. Conclusions This comprehensive management program effectively decreased the incidence of new cases and lost time. Both dancers and management strongly support its continuance.

Abstract The number of reported workers' compensation injuries in logging operations in Louisiana has decreased at a time when the number of employees in logging has increased. Employees with less than 3 yr of employment accounted for 82% of all claims. The percentage of cases involving cuts and lacerations decreased from 1985 through 1990; however, sprains and strains increased, from 15% in 1985 to 28% in 1990, during this period. Back injuries accounted for 15% of injuries. Falls contributed to 13% of injuries. Falling trees were the major cause of fatalities. Truck drivers were 20% of the claimants. Workers who were struck by or against trees or logs resulted in a major cause of lost time injuries to employees, as well as in juries from the use of hand tools, which have decreased, from 25% in 1987 to 13% in 1990. The lower extremities are most vulnerable to injuries in logging operations. Workers' compensation injuries and cost continues to be a major concern for those involved in logging operations, even though the frequency and rate of cases decreased from 1985 to 1990. South. J. Appl. For. 18(3): 110-115.
