Organizational Safety

Corporate safety culture drives organizational safety performance.

High safety performance contributes to the leverage a company has in credit worthiness, cashflow, low turnover, high morale and high productivity, not to mention lower premiums and indirect costs. Well-written policies and procedures serve as a template for a well-functioning organization. Implementation on a daily basis is where the rubber hits the road. Ensure your safety program and organizational safety is authentic and operational, and not merely a paper tiger. We can help you create the infrastructure, ensure to connect the dots and monitor key factors and activities for proper execution.

The Bermuda Triangle of Organizational Safety

There is a general misconception that employee behavior and conduct are the causes of accidents. They may be the claimants, but they operate within the context of the organizational universe. Organizational safety performance is a three-legged stool that relies on the strength of each pillar: strong safety programming and engineering; good labor relations; and a strong internal A/I and claims handling system. This can include Return-to-Work programs and the effective use of the Fitness-for-Duty at any time Policy.

Compensation Systems

There are ways to work and plan to your strength and to strategize to contain and minimize claims proliferation and losses as much as possible within the legal framework that determines medical liabilities and losses. How incident investigations are conducted – and how the reports are composed – can be instrumental to the ultimate development of a claim. The timing of what transpires in a claim can be strategized along with reserving schedules to give you the optimal experience modification outcomes. For example, reserves alone at any given time do not always reflect the entire story of a claim. They fluctuate with development. They can be reduced – especially when it matters most.
