A non-management staff is responsible for reporting any work-related injuries to the administrator. They must substantiate their claim in order to be liable to receive compensation. This means proving that the injuries arose from an accident which they encountered while executing their indispensable duties to the employer. A non-management staff should cooperate with the administrator in every step of the compensation claim process. An administrator is largely responsible for handling accident or injuries claims from employees. They are tasked with the duty of completing employees' injuries reports, and facilitating compensation payments for valid and justified claims. It is an administrator's responsibility to verify whether an employee has met all the conditions that warrant compensation from their employer (Jule, 2020).

On the same breadth, an administrator must carefully analyze the series of events that transpired in order to determine whether an employee is indeed entitled to compensation, or whether the organization should be exempted from paying compensation. The administrator reports to the senior management and forwards their findings for review. To further strengthen organizational compliance as far as regulatory requirements are concerned, an organization can consider implementing a hotline number where employees can, on time, report any hazardous organizational practices and behaviors. An organization can also implement a pre-employment screening program to ensure that applicants are placed in positions that match their physical capabilities. Additionally, an organization can implement a safety monitoring plan which will ensure that safety vulnerabilities are sourced for every three months, as suggested by Sorensen et al (2018).
