Potential exposures to worker claims of privacy violations are increasing as employers put more confidential records in computer-accessible locations, lawyers and insurers contend.

Risk managers should be concerned, even though major verdicts and awards for such claims have been few, because of the sheer volume of private records involved, these sources warn.

And while no one can absolutely prevent litigation, legal experts said that taking the proper steps could do much to shield against exposures or result in an employer-friendly outcome when lawsuits are brought.

Privacy issues generally arise concerning electronic mail, voice mail, health and other employee data as well as surveillance by television cameras and microphones.
