> However an employee is far more likely sustain an injury by using the stairs compared to riding in an elevator, and particularly as they were encouraged by the employer to do so, they would have a pretty clear worker's compensation claim.
With or without encouragement by their employer, they would have a pretty clear worker's comp claim, as the injury is "in the course of employment."
Also, I would imagine that the company promoting usage of stairs has had an actuary do the cost-benefit analysis of the potential health-care savings versus the potential worker's-comp payouts.
