Join Ethan Johnson and Carissa Chipman from Chalmers Camp Insurance as they sit down with Bud Copeland from ACA New England in a recent ACA Partner Check-In for a discussion on best practices for workers' comp claim reporting, just in time for the upcoming camp season.
They share essential strategies to ensure the safety of camp counselors and employees, emphasizing the importance of timely reporting and clear communication. Topics include understanding state-specific reporting timelines to avoid fines, investigating and documenting injuries promptly, and educating staff on the proper procedures for reporting injuries. Additionally, they highlight the necessity of knowing who to report injuries to and ensuring that designated employees are well-prepared to handle the process efficiently.
Ethan and Carissa also remind counselors about engaged play, emphasizing that their role is to supervise and support rather than compete with campers. This approach not only enhances safety but also fosters a positive camp environment.
