He first brings his expertise to improve professional risks prevention by using for example the Document Unique’s wording as a tool. When a risk occurs he works closely with the managers to assist them with the preparation of the work-accidents declaration. He also helps them to manage the inquiries and investigations related to work-accidents and professional illness conducted by the public authority (CPAM). His opinion guides the opportunity to challenge or not the decisions taken by the public authorities (CPAM and CARSAT) before first a non judicial commission (Commission de Recours Amiable) and then the Social Security courts. Guillaume Verdier is the company’s litigator before the Social Security courts when it is accused of “inexcusable fault”.
