Randall Comer, Attorney at Law for Martin Brown, recently indicated that "if a loss of hearing is medically shown to be related to an injured workers’ employment, then it would be compensable under Ohio workers’ compensation law."

First, MAPP has an extensive resource called the Business and Technical Directory located under the Members Only Tab. In this directory, individual MAPP member professionals list their contact information in areas where they feel very capable of fielding quetions. Under the category called SOFTWARE, you will see a vast number of member professionals that have listed their contact information indicating their willingness to share. Secondly,during MAPP's next plant tour at Dekalb Molded plastics in June, we will have an ERP Technology meeting where profesionals will discuss issues and realities of what their software is and is not doing. This would be an extremely valuable forum to obtain critical information and contacts!
