First Benefits Insurance encourages its agents to promote the importance and value of a safe work place environment to employers at every opportunity.
We hope that you will remind your insureds that “the best way to avoid a claim is to prevent it” and “the best way to manage claims is prompt reporting.”
First Benefits Insurance will make available upon request (at no cost to the insured) a safety professional who can help identify potential hazards and propose low cost alternatives to reduce or eliminate potential hazards.
Implementing these alternatives, focusing on a safer work environment, and training employees to work safely, can reduce both the frequency and severity of employee injuries.
Examples of low cost safety measures include: eliminating slippery floors,
ensuring that basic equipment is maintained for safe operation, and requiring protective gear when operating hazardous equipment and machinery.
