Mike Alderman Title: Use Checklists to Help Reduce Workers’ Comp Premiums If you’ve followed my blogs on reducing workers’ compensation premiums, I’ve covered easy street (making reduced premiums easy) and simple math (lower costs equal increased profits). But at the end of the day, we want things simple and easy and a checklist to manage the process. So how can you be sure you have covered the bases when working to optimize your savings on Workers’ Compensation costs? It can be confusing but starting the process to control them can be easy, and it should be easy. Going through a simple checklist will help you tick it off your todo list and get you moving in the right direction. I’ve said this before – the most effective and straightforward method to reducing your workers’ compensation costs is to reduce the number of accidents and injuries in the workplace. Being aware of safety issues in your workplace will help you control costs, increase productivity, and create a safe environment for your employees, among many other benefits. This should also be on the top of your list. Start your process with this in mind. We have many stories where preparation would have made an impact. One of our carrier partners recently told me about a visit she made to a customer’s location the day after a work accident. One of his employees had been striking off some concrete and hit an exposed tip of metal with the piece of equipment. That metal tip flew into another employee’s eye. No one on-site was wearing eye protection, including the boss, the policyholder. The eye protection was available, but he didn’t enforce the rule with his employees. He said the hardest thing he ever had to do was talk to the employee’s wife and tell her that her husband would lose his sight in that eye. It was a devastating blow and he was emotional when he told the story. Something as simple as eye protection would have changed this story. It took an extreme situation to get him to make changes, but he started making changes immediately. We hope your Checklist will lead to reduced workers’ compensation premiums and a safe workplace environment. 3
