...'cause they can get hurt
Whether handling furnace installations or A/C unit repairs, HVAC technicians in Kansas face daily risks from electrical shocks and falls. Workers' comp insurance helps cover medical expenses and lost wages if an accident occurs.
Workers' comp insurance provides protection to both the employer and the injured worker. Like other types of insurance, it’s there to help in the event of an incident.
If a worker gets hurt on the job, the insurance company will help pay for the costs associated with their care so the worker is provided for until they return to work.
Since the company had an active workers' comp policy, they are not responsible for paying the medical bills.

Have a clear process to report claims
