Abstract :
Workers´ compensation costs are increasing at a rate that causes 69 percent of employers to believe they will threaten financial results. These costs can be controlled by effective risk management and claims management. This is an overview of risk management programs to prevent losses and an expression of a philosophy and a methodology for an aggressive management of claims that do occur.<>
