Dan Hannan
Certified Safety Professional (CSP) & OSHA Outreach Instructor
Most recordable injuries are decided before anyone opens the paperwork, in the first 48 hours, by whoever happens to be standing nearby.
A sore shoulder gets iced instead of being evaluated. Two days later, an urgent care that knows nothing about the job writes a three-week restriction, and what could have been a first-aid case is now a line on February’s 300, an open claim, a crew short an operator for a month, and a bump in your TRIR.
In this session, Dan Hannan, CSP, will walk through what a coordinated injury response looks like, from before the incident through full recovery. Using real injury cases, he will show where each case turns, who needs to be involved and when, and how early decisions lead to better recoveries, cleaner claims, and an accurate 300 Log.
Key Takeaways
- The tipping point: Where a minor injury becomes a recordable case, and the early response steps that shape that outcome
- Accurate classification: The medical treatment and restricted duty triggers that decide what belongs on the 300 Log
- Who does what: Roles across the workers’ comp and return-to-work process: employer, employee, healthcare provider, insurer, and claims professional
- Smarter claim decisions: Evaluating treatment options and claim information, including compensability, medical coordination, claim reviews, IMEs, and qualified rehabilitation services
- Getting people back: Building a return-to-work strategy with transitional duties, temporary restrictions, job-demand information, and clear escalation when recovery stalls
