PROBLEM Duane is a long-haul truck driver who specializes in transporting oversize loads across Canada and the U.S.A. for his Markham, Ontario based company. The nature of his work requires: long hours due to specialized loading, driving, and delivery procedures; driving at a slower than normal speed, often at night to avoid peak traffic; taking longer routes to avoid obstacles such as low height or low weight bridges, and crossing the CanadaUSA border. Truckers in this occupation are often under tight deadlines to deliver on time, or their employer will face financial penalties. a) Identify three possible work-related injuries and illnesses/diseases that might result from working in this occupation and discuss the Workers Compensation coverage that would apply in each case. b) Discuss how his employer would obtain the necessary information to complete the employer and incident analysis reports. c) Compare and contrast the Canadian compensation system with the compensation available to an American-based trucker doing similar work.
