Bureau Offers Two Workers’ Comp 101 Training Sessions This September

What benefits are injured employees entitled to? What rights do employers have during the claims process? How does the Bureau fit into the overall workers’ compensation system?

The Tennessee Bureau of Workers’ Compensation will answer these questions and more during two free, in-person training sessions this September. Tailored for HR professionals, safety officers, business owners, and supervisors, these sessions will empower local industries to handle workers’ compensation matters with clarity and competence.

September 17 – Chattanooga 

The first session will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. Eastern Time at the Southern Champion Tray Centre South Manufacturing Plant (2601 Riverport Rd, Chattanooga, TN 37406). Held in partnership with Southern Champion Tray, this session will engage regional employers to improve injury reporting, claims management, and compliance.
