Pennsylvania Accident & Illness Prevention Services

SRC team has qualified consultants to provide Accident & Illness Prevention (A&IP) Program services for Pennsylvania employers.

Under the Health and Safety Regulations of the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act, self-insured employers and insurance carriers licensed to write workers’ compensation insurance are required to either employ or contract with qualified accident and illness prevention services providers to deliver services to policyholders or to provide program services.

You can lower your workers' compensation costs by forming a workplace safety committee that meets the Pennsylvania state requirements and by applying for committee certification. Our SRC consultants can walk you through the process of building a workplace safety committee and provide the required training for your safety committee members.

The 1993 amendments to Pennsylvania’s Workers’ Compensation Act included a department program to encourage the establishment of workplace safety committees aimed at reducing employers’ workers’ compensation rates, as well as reducing injuries and illness in the workplace. Section 1002 of PA Act 44 states that employers may apply to the Department of Labor & Industry for certification of their workplace safety committee(s) and provides an incentive for those employers who gain certification. Under Act 57 of 1996, employers who continue to operate workplace safety committee(s) according to established criteria can receive an annual 5% discount in workers’ compensation insurance rates if the employer provides annual verification to the department.
