While injuries during a normal commute are often excluded under the "going and coming" rule, carrying employer-required equipment can create exceptions that make a claim compensable. Understanding these gray areas can help employers respond appropriately when an incident occurs.

[SFM Companies @WorkCompXperts]

As more workplaces shift into hybrid schedules, courts are beginning to confront a new question: When employees carry work equipment between home and office, what happens if they get hurt in the process?

Safety programs stall when companies focus only on rules and training instead of addressing the workplace culture, leadership, and behaviors that actually drive safe decision-making.

[ISHN @ISHNmag]

This article explores the “progression problem”—when workers stop advancing in safety awareness, engagement, and accountability.

The best workers’ comp savings don’t come from shopping for the deepest discounts — they come from building strong provider partnerships that improve care, communication, and claim outcomes.

[Work Comp Roundup @michaelstack]

Medical discounts don’t guarantee lower workers’ comp costs. Strong provider partnerships improve RTW outcomes, reduce litigation risk, and shorten claim duration. Focus on outcomes—not just discounts.
