In today's episode of the Deconstructing Comp podcast, Yvonne and Rafael sit down with Heather Lore, Executive Director of the IAIABC, for a conversation that covers some important (and undertalked) topics in workers' comp right now.

These include:

Heat-Related Injuries: They're more common than the data shows. Heather says this is largely because they're underreported. She breaks down what's happening, what states like Oregon and California are doing about it, and what employers can do today. Here's the WCRI research study, and it's worth a read.

In addition to the study that Lore mentions (Impact of Excessive Heat on the Frequency of Work-Related Injuries), you may be interested in our look at the Impact of California’s Heat Standard on Workers’ Compensation Outcomes.
