Some more to Add
1. Employees should be given job-specific training with machines/tools.
2. Employees should be advised on possible accidents and how to avoid them.
3. Provide proper training to all employees on how to react in case of an emergency or accident.
IWIF Workmen's Insurance has provided some excellent tips to help prevent accidents, which would surely reduce compensation claims.
