No one wants one of their employees, co-workers or themselves,
for that matter, to be injured on the job. But should something
happen regardless, it's reassuring to know that nearly every working
Californian is protected by workers' compensation thanks to a law
passed by California's state legislature more than 75 years ago.
This no-fault insurance, paid for by employers and supervised by
the state, guarantees prompt, automatic benefits to workers injured
on the job.
Safety First
Although all fairgrounds are different in size and operations, there's
a striking similarity in preventable accidents such as slips, trips
and falls or back injuries caused by improper lifting. A large part
of our job as manager of the fairs' Workers' Compensation pool is
providing pool members with the information, tools and training
they need to reduce all types of preventable accidents. In the event
of an accident, CFSA also helps its members by handling claims and
arranging benefits.
