Abstract
The research purpose was to examine organisational and psychosocial factors to identify if these contributed to a worker’s compensation claim becoming long duration. This innovative research explored methods of preventing claims before they even occur. Outcomes of this case control study were the development of a Green Flag Model to prevent long duration claims pre claim and a Model of Management to prevent claims becoming long duration.
