A well-planned safety and loss control program can help significantly reduce losses, contain insurance costs and lead to increased profits.  Through loss control methods you will be able to:

  • Achieve a safer, more efficient work environment.
  • Realize cost savings on indirect expenses not covered by insurance.
  • Reduce insurance premiums.
  • Reduce claims frequency and improve experience modification.
  • Improve training and staff safety consciousness.
  • Improve employee morale.
  • Develop policies and procedures necessary to keep your business running smoothly. 
 
Download the Farmer's Loss Control Program Basics. This 16-page booklet developed by Farmers Insurance provides information on Accident Investigation, Hazard Control, Inspections, Employee Selection, Training and Communication. 

OSHA's $afety Pays Program

OSHA's "$afety Pays" program is an interactive expert system to assist employers in estimating the costs of occupational injuries and illnesses and the impact on a company's profitability.

 

This system uses a company's profit margin, the average costs of an injury or illness, and an indirect cost multiplier to project the amount of sales a company would need to generate in order to cover those costs. Businesses can use this information to predict the direct and indirect impact of injuries and illnesses and the estimated sales needed to compensate for these losses.

 

Visit OSHA's $afety Pays Program for more information.
