Must Read Information for Employers about Workers' Compensation Premiums and Requesting Safety Assistance

Requesting Safety Assistance

Knowledge of workers' compensation and safety procedures is invaluable when setting goals to reduce and control workers' compensation costs. Information and on site services are available from the Division of Workers' Compensation and from insurance carriers. Services are available but it is the employer's responsibility to request services and use them for their benefit. Most employers who take advantage of safety services see a reduction in workplace injuries, and for many of them, the reduction is significant. Workers' compensation claims and costs are controllable. Employers who set goals to control claims and costs should realize these goals and many other related benefits.
