Whats the alternative? No workers compensation at all? Or safer training...as they’re implementing.
That's the point of workers comp though isn't it? You get hurt at work in the line of duty, you get compensated. It's like saying we better not have hydraulics on when we do a simulator ride because we might get a crick in the neck, or have engine failure training because we might get scared and need some time off for PTSD. This is insurance company BS and yet another example of bottom line watchers moulding the system to fit their spread sheets.
I only hope lawyers get hold of this guys testimony if/when we have an accident in Oz, "yes your honour, we let 200 people burn because we felt it was too dangerous to train our fierys". There is a compensation nightmare for you.
