A nonprofit risk management training and educational organization said yesterday it has created a manual that outlines methods to control workers' compensation costs.

The Public Entity Risk Institute (PERI) in Fairfax, Va. announced the release of the PERI Day of Injury Resource Manual, detailing a strategy of early intervention to control workers' comp costs.

Gerard J. Hoetmer, PERI executive director, said the new manual “lays out a proactive approach for addressing rising costs of workers' compensation by establishing processes for responding to employee injuries starting right on the day of injury.”
