Workers Compensation for Contractors:This course begins with an introduction to workers compensation, explaining how the law has evolved from the first state act in 1902 to its current status today. Today's state WC laws are examined, including who is covered and under what circumstances. Next is the workers compensation policy itself. Since this is the form used in the majority of states, the focus is on the 1984 National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) policy as revised in 1992. The various parts of the policy are explained in detail.

Contractual Risk Transfer in Construction:This course reviews the structure of construction contracting relationships and the key provisions in which responsibilities and liabilities are allocated to the contracting parties, and suggests methods to equitably allocate these liabilities. It also examines processes for ensuring the effectiveness of contractual risk transfers, and identifies problems that may arise if contracts are not properly reviewed and their risks managed.
