<prompt> Human: I am a truck driver that works around lead. Today, one of my managers called me in his office to view a mandatory video basically a power point presentation about the workmans comp package now being offered by our company. The video showcased some strong pros over our states workmans comp laws, such as bigger and instant payouts, accidental death coverage, loss of limb, etc. The video basically ended by saying if we agreed to take the package, we wave all rights to sue the company, we have to use their approved doctors and hospitals. At one point it said a summary packet could be requested for more info. After the video ended, I asked my manager what he did and he said that the foolish thing would be to refuse the package due to the length process it takes to go through the states workers comp. I asked for the info packet and he said, sure thing, its 27 pages I said ok and he went to go print it. He handed me the info packet and asked if I was gonna sign or not, I told him I had to review the packet. My managers haste to get me to sign worries me. Im sure he has a quota to hit with this thing and I dont blame him for doing his job, but Ive got to watch out for me. Im worried that if I get lead poisoning, or cancer or hurt in some terrible way that whatever they pay me wont be enough to pay my medical bills. That there would be nothing I can due to get proper compensation. Whats worse is that if we dont want to take the package, we have to sign a form saying we refused it. I feel like theyre separating us my coworkers, showing the video and pressuring us to sign. Im worried that they will look to fire anyone who signs the refusal forms. I know they cannot fire me for that reason specifically, but Ive always been told in my state that you can be fired for anything at any time.Advice?  <response>: Theres a reason workers compensation and insurance is highly regulated, because its built on the backs of previously injured parties. I would say any company asking you to sign a waiver is only doing so in their own best interests and to your detriment.They are free to do more for their employees on top of the state regulated process, why dont they do that instead? Because this is not about providing the worker with better options, its about saving the company money at your expense.
