In this law, the term 'Department' refers to which entity?

In this law, the term Department is tied to the agency that administers workers’ compensation in Rhode Island—the Department of Labor and Training. The statute designates that agency as the one responsible for handling claims, medical benefits, and overall administration of the workers’ compensation program, often through the Division of Workers’ Compensation within that department. The other departments listed (Public Safety, Health, Revenue) have different mandates and are not the entities designated to run or oversee workers’ compensation under this law. So, when you see Department, it points to the Department of Labor and Training.
