Safety Officer Network Meetings are designed to assist you with improving your knowledge, skills, and abilities while connecting you to other safety personnel in and around your area.  The next round of meetings will highlight Mr. Jay Withrow from the Department of Labor and Industry (VOSH). Mr. Withrow will talk about legal aspects as they pertain Occupational Safety and Health for supervisors. After Mr. Withrow’s presentation, we will facilitate a discussion concerning the issues that participants have brought forward on previous evaluation forms. This interactive discussion is designed to learn from each other and take back lessons learned from other agencies. As alway we will review general safety news, updates, and workers’ compensation claims.

You asked, we listened!  WCS and MCI are pleased to announce the launch of a new and improved VLW-Employer Accident Report Portal planned to go live on Thursday, January 10th.  Over the years we developed a catalog of changes for which agencies and other internal users asked to improve the user experience.  We believe you will find the new application and the enhancements intuitive and an improvement over the existing VLW.

 

Attached are some helpful tools for your transition to the new application.

 

Some of the new features include:

 

While we are excited about all of the enhancements, we are especially excited about the enhancements that allow named users to upload claim related documents and add annotations or claim notes (see pages 42-44 of the manual for more details).  As you read through the manual, we ask you to keep a couple of key points in mind:

 

While we think the application is easy to navigate and intuitive, we plan to release recorded training for the application next week should you wish to take a refresher and for orientation of new users.  We will provide a link pointing you to the training and will make it available in the Learning Center.  In the meantime, if you have any questions on the application and features feel free to contact York Technical Support at 800.913.5651.

 

We are excited to offer you this improved accident reporting tool and are sure that as you begin to work in the application, explore the manual and listen to the training, you will discover other helpful enhancements!  Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
