Our goal is to become a valued team member for your safety efforts through trust and confidence in our solutions. Our team will provide:
Safety training: We will train your managers, supervisors, and employees in safe practices, hazard identification, accident investigation and more to help them understand their role in promoting and ensuring on-the-job safety and accountability.
Incident analysis: We will perform an analysis of the type, severity, and frequency of claims and help you identify causal factors. We will also show you how losses impact your workers’ compensation premium, and ultimately your bottom line. Safety Services can supply you with strategies and tactics to help you eliminate and/or reduce workplace injuries.
Site assessment: Our Safety Services team will tour your workplace to identify and make recommendations on physical hazards, at-risk behaviors, ergonomic issues and other opportunities to improve safety and reduce claims. Our team can supply you with an unbiased evaluation of your current safety efforts as part of your continuous improvement process.
Work observation: Utilizing our spirit of teamwork approach, we will conduct an on-site review of your employees in action to identify opportunity for improvement in areas such as employee participation and work processes or procedures.
Safety policy creation: We will help you define, develop, and communicate your commitment to safety and a safe workplace.
