1. Which of the following best represents a personal impact that a worker may experience after being injured on the job?
- A. Increased Workers' Compensation premiums charged to the employer
- B. Loss of self-esteem and breakdown of personal relationships
- C. Production shortfalls requiring overtime from co-workers
- D. Administrative costs associated with filing a compensation claim
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B. An injured worker can lose income, live with ongoing pain, lose self-esteem, and see personal relationships break down. Workers' compensation premiums, overtime to cover production, and the cost of handling a claim fall on the employer or on coworkers. Those are not personal harm to the injured person.
