For CY2016, OSHA required employers to electronically submit Form 300A data by December 15, 2017.  The CY17 deadline was July 1, 2018; however, employers may still provide information to the database. Establishments with 250 - [Workers’ Compensation Summary](https://riskwise.biz/workers-compensation-summary/): Workers’ Compensation is a type of business insurance that protects workers’ and the employer from the cost of workplace injuries. The purpose of the law is to ensure that workers’, if injured, receive medical care and are able to get their wages replaced if unable to return to work. Why are Workers’ Compensation laws needed? Before state Workers’ Compensation laws, injured workers had to sue their employer in tort at common law to gain recovery for the cost of medical treatment and lost wages. Employee’s had to prove that the employer was negligent in failing to exercise a reasonable degree - [Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance](https://riskwise.biz/workers-compensation-and-employers-liability-insurance/): Every state has special laws that mandate immediate medical care for workers injured on the job. Those laws also provide for financial compensation for the worker’s loss of earnings due to those injuries, as well as recovery form occupational injuries sustained in the workplace. If the injury is fatal, death benefits are provided for surviving spouse and children. Occupational disease is also part of these laws, and workers are entitled to compensation for disability due to those diseases. All workers compensation legislation have five specific objectives: Prompt payment of adequate benefits to injured workers or their dependents according to fixed - [Workers' Comp and FMLA, ADA, and HIPAA](https://riskwise.biz/workers-comp-and-fmla-ada-and-hipaa/): Workers’ compensation laws are state statues. But there can still be interplay between workers’ comp and federal employment laws like FMLA, ADA, and HIPAA. Workers’ Comp and FMLA: Federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) regulations provide that leave taken pursuant to a workers’ comp claim would be considered FMLA leave for a serious health condition and counted in the leave entitlement permitted under the FMLA, as long as the situation otherwise meets the criteria for FMLA leave. In such cases, you may designate the leave as FMLA leave and count the leave against the employee’s FMLA leave entitlement, with - [Why Employers Seek Short-Term Solutions](https://riskwise.biz/why-employers-seek-short-term-solutions/): At issue is Workers’ Compensation Insurance, or any line insurance for that matter. Employers, for as long as they wish to remain in business, will need Workers’ Compensation insurance to cover the legal obligation of paying for the cost of injuries to employees. The presence of risk of loss in the workplace is a long-term problem. Yet the solution is to “shop” for Workers’ Compensation coverage every year in the hopes of reducing the price of the coverage through a competitive market of carriers quoting their business. This is a Short-Term approach. What the Employer fails to see and understand, - [Accidents During Company Recreational Activities](https://riskwise.biz/accidents-during-company-recreational-activities/): Many employers provide their employees with opportunities for recreation and socializing with their fellow workers. The purposes of such activities vary and may include goals such as increased camaraderie among workers or increased goodwill within the business community. However, at what point does an injury during a recreational event give rise to a workers’ compensation claim? According to the law (La.R.S. 23:1031A), an injury is compensable as a workers’ compensation claim if it is the result of “an accident arising out of and in the course of … employment.” In applying this rule to recreational activities, the Louisiana Supreme Court, - [United States Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Act](https://riskwise.biz/united-states-longshore-harbor-workers-act/): The United States Longshore & Harbor Workers Act is a federal statue that dictates the benefits that will be provided by the employer (or insurance carrier) in the event the injured worker is deemed to be a Longshoreman. To be considered a Longshoreman the injured worker must have situs and status. The law is invoked in workplaces that provide services on, near or adjacent to navigable waters of the United States. Workers that are injured on the Outer Continental Shelf have automatic situs and status. Workers injured in federal waters usually enjoy this coverage. Workers in Shipyards are deemed Longshoreman. - [Theories of Accident Causation](https://riskwise.biz/theories-of-accident-causation/): This article attempts to deliver explanation s of why accidents occur by analyzing the fundamental and developmental predecessors to accidental events. Accidents, events that injure people, damage property and equipment don’t just happen. They are not random acts of fate that occur out of the blue. Rather accidents are the combination of events that come together to create a flow of process where a progression of events leads to a negative outcome, an accident. The need for a theory reflects the difficulties in providing logical and rationale explanations as to actually why certain events, people, equipment interacted to generate a - [The Three Types of Hazards](https://riskwise.biz/the-three-types-of-hazards/): Risk Management involves the understanding of the predominant three hazards groups and how those hazards, left untreated, lead to losses. Hazard Analysis is the term used to describe and articulate the components that start the chain of causation that leads to injury. Hazards create exposures that need to be recognized, evaluated and controlled. A hazard is any condition that has the potential to cause a loss. The goal of hazard identification and remediation is to eliminate the hazard, if feasible, and if not, to reduce the exposure down to a level where it is impractical to cause an injury. The - [The Ripple Effect of Safety](https://riskwise.biz/the-ripple-effect-of-safety/): The development and implementation of a workplace safety program or the lack of such a program has a ripple effect that flows to affect other aspects of the organization. When a company has established a safety program and has educated workers on what is expected in the performance of their jobs, positive benefits flow back to that organization. This is a return on the investment of the safety education. The positive benefits that enhance an organization include: 1) improved productivity as workers aren’t missing work due to injuries 2) improved morale among employees as they aren’t talking about that “missing - [The Performance of Persistence](https://riskwise.biz/the-performance-of-persistence/): Calvin Coolidge said: “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent.” Persistence is defined as: 1) to continue in pursuit of any course commenced 2) to continue in the face of some amount of opposition 3) to be insistent (The New Webster’s Dictionary). We have all heard the saying that when the going gets tough the tough get going, that is a - [The History of Workplace Health & Safety](https://riskwise.biz/the-history-of-workplace-health-safety/): Workplace safety and health slowly became issues as the United States rapidly industrialized. Unions and reformers first promoted the need for safer working conditions. Workers had few options if they became injured or ill on the job until state governments created regulations for industries like coal mining and manufacturing. Many viewed the system of state laws that protected workers as imperfect, and Congress stepped in to regulate workplace safety at the beginning of the 1970s. 1. Workplace Safety and Health in the Late 19th Century Concern over workers’ safety and health on the job arose in the late 1900s as - [The Attractive Nuisance Doctrine](https://riskwise.biz/the-attractive-nuisance-doctrine/): Under Common Law, it was generally held that a landowner owed no duty of care to a trespasser other than refraining from creating a dangerous condition or instrumentality designed to inflict injury to the trespasser. Over time, however, an exception to this general rule evolved for the protection of young children who have somehow been “enticed” onto the property by a “dangerous instrumentality” that catches the imagination of recreation. An early Washington Street decision, for example imposed liability on a railway company following the death of a child from playing on an unsecured turntable. In finding for the plaintiff, the - [The ARRT of Risk Management](https://riskwise.biz/the-arrt-of-risk-management/): The risk management function requires an understanding of loss exposures, those items of value at risk of reduction in value from natural and man-made perils. There are four basic risk management treatments which may be used alone or in combination with other forms to control a loss exposure. Remember that risk is a good thing as it allows productivity to take place from which comes revenues and (hopefully) profit. However, uncontrolled risk is a bad thing as it jeopardizes the value of the assets from which productivity takes place. There are four basic approaches to risk control. The four risk - [The Standardization of Loss Runs](https://riskwise.biz/the-standardization-of-loss-runs/): The analysis of loss runs by those individuals that benefit from the report is critical to determining an employers’ past injury sources so a corrective action agenda can be established. The users of Loss Runs are Underwriters, Agents, Loss Control Reps, Attorneys, Reinsures and others representing a broad cross section of education and experience. Therefore, simplification of these valuable reports will serve to expedite an understanding of the data they contain. The review of loss runs, prior to the actual visit of an account, can help steer the Loss Control professional to the problem area and that improves efficiency as - [Safety Management Program Stages](https://riskwise.biz/safety-management-program-stages/): Top management has to participate and lead the safety effort to prevent workplace injuries. Without top management participation and leadership there is no safety program and accidents become an issue of random fate or luck. Workplace injuries, to use an economics term, are negative externalities. That is, injuries are something the company can do without. Other examples are pollution, crime, poor quality, etc. Workplace injuries are preventable with consistent action focused in strategic areas. However, not all companies are created equal. Based on background, resources, industry norms, years in the business and other factors, most companies will fit into one - [Screening and Hiring; An Employers’ First Line of Defense](https://riskwise.biz/screening-and-hiring-an-employers-first-line-of-defense/): In this day and age of rampant litigation stemming from employment related issues, it is important for employers’ to understand that the appropriate screening and hiring of workers’ is a vital function that must be performed legally, consistently and diligently. According to a study by Liability Consultants, damage awards for negligent hiring between 1983 thru 1985 lawsuits averaged $810,000! In addition, the number of lawsuits filed has increased over past years. Employers’ retain and thru premium payments, transfer significant risk due to the intention, conduct and actions of employees from claims filed under Workers’ Compensation, Employment Practices Liability, General Liability, - [Safety Merit Pay](https://riskwise.biz/safety-merit-pay/): No doubt, the organization has invested valuable resources to educate the workforce in workplace safety. These efforts are directed at the goal of changing the safety culture of our company. In spite of those efforts, hazards both physical and behavioral still exist in the worksite. Worksite location supervisor accountability is the key to consistent safety performance! They are hired and get paid more money to over see the crew and direct the work. They have the knowledge and experience needed to get the job completed. They are in the best position on a daily basis to implement the safety rules - [Safety Equals Savings](https://riskwise.biz/safety-equals-savings/): The Natural Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) uses a complex formula to calculate an experience modification factor (mod) for eligible employers. In layman’s terms, your mod is simply the amount of your actual work comp losses divided by your expected losses based on your industry. Currently, companies with several smaller losses have a higher mod than companies with one single large loss-even if the total dollars are the same. That’s because NCCI accepts that accidents really do happen. The penalty goes to the company that doesn’t work hard at prevention, allowing injuries to continue. NCCI annually produces a mod worksheet - [Safety Training or Safety Education](https://riskwise.biz/safety-training-or-safety-education-2/): The provision of safety information to employees at the time of hire and then on an ongoing basis is a simple and cost effective method to prevent injuries. The delivery of such information attempts to accomplish several objectives; create a body of employee knowledge where they can implement the information given to protect themselves and prevent injuries. Also, it validates the Safety Mission Statement that management seeks to create an organization where workplace safety is part of the culture of the company. While the delivery of safety information is required by federal law (OSHA) and may be required by your - [Safety Culture](https://riskwise.biz/safety-culture/): Definition: The safety culture is the product of values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies, and patterns of behavior that determine the commitment to, and the style and proficiency of, an organization’s health and safety management. Organizations with a positive safety culture are characterized by communications founded on mutual trust, by shared perceptions of the importance of safety, and by confidence in the efficacy of preventive measures. “The first duty of business is to survive and the guiding principle of business economics is not the maximization of profit but the avoidance of loss” To be successful, safety must be more than a program - [Analysis of Risk Transfer Products](https://riskwise.biz/analysis-of-risk-transfer-products/): In a shifting marketplace, it is important to know the different types of risk financing products and how they may or may not fit your particular situation. The selection of the appropriate risk financing product will be a decision based on the level risk tolerance of the insured, Balance Sheet of the insured, Loss Experience of the Insured, the marketplaces willingness to offer such products and risk management knowledge. Also, a detailed analysis of the cost/benefit of each approach is warranted. In this article we will explore guaranteed cost, retrospective rated plans, deductible plans, captive programs and self-insurance programs. Guaranteed - [Retrospective Rating Programs](https://riskwise.biz/retrospective-rating-programs/): Retrospective Rating Programs, hereafter called Retro’s, is a type of insurance pricing tool used in Workers’ Compensation insurance to reward and possibly penalize insured’s based on Loss Ratio performance. The Retro is a Loss Sensitive pricing mechanism which means that the ultimate cost of coverage to the policyholder is a function of the losses that have occurred during the policy period. The Retro, or any loss sensitive product for that matter, is attached to the Standard NCCI contract which modifies the contract to allow the pay-out/ pay-in as warranted. Retro’s are different from other loss sensitive products becasue the ultimate - [What is the reason for safety?](https://riskwise.biz/what-is-the-reason-for-safety/): Like most endeavors that require a company’s time and investment the case has to be made on a cost benefit analysis to undertake such an endeavor. Safety is not different. The actions, efforts and time spent on safety activity must yield fruit in t he form of economic benefit or an employer can just leave the risk of loss to a reactive event and call on the insurance policies procured to handle issues/claims/losses, if and when they manifest. The resin for safety can be summed up into to 5 major categories’: 1) Humanitarianism 2) Regulatory compliance 3) Insurance cost reduction - [Qualified vs. Certified](https://riskwise.biz/qualified-vs-certified/): Does certification surpass qualification & the reward for compliance? When OSHA released the revised construction and crane standard (1926 Subpart CC), they required construction riggers and signal persons to be “qualified” by November 2010 and crane operators be “certified” by November 2014. However, the language surrounding certification raised concern with industry stakeholders, and OSHA extended the deadline for operator certification by 3 years. As it stands today, operators are required to be qualified, but by November 10, 2017, all construction crane operators must be certified. So what was the controversy about? What do you need to do to reach compliance? - [Prepare Now for Business Interruption](https://riskwise.biz/prepare-now-for-business-interruption/): Do you have a business continuity plan you can count on? Approximately 70% of Americans have at least some form of evacuation plan at home, but only 25% of small businesses have a disaster plan. Make sure you are prepared by taking these steps to create a customized business continuity plan. Step 1: Assemble Your Team Mitigating and recovering from disasters is a team effort and takes a well – developed plan. All facets of your organization must be prepared – therefore everyone should be involved in the planning process. First, establish leadership support within your organization for internal resources - [Personal Protection Equipment](https://riskwise.biz/personal-protection-equipment/): Every year approximately 712,000 work days are lost and 4 fatalities occur due to the lack of Personal Protection Equipment usage. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is the last line of defense to prevent injuries to employees. Only after all other methods of hazard control have been exhausted, only then should PPE be utilized to prevent worker injury. Hazards have a hierarchy of safety controls, that is, the first steps to be taken to eliminate the hazard should be performed and followed down to the least preferred method. A quick review of the prevention techniques to consider before PPE is used - [Packaging Your Account to be Underwritten for Insurance](https://riskwise.biz/packaging-your-account-to-be-underwritten-for-insurance/): As a former Underwriter, it is my opinion that the time spent to prepare your account to become a submission (a request for an insurance quote) is an investment in potentially lower insurance cost and possibly more carriers/quotes to choose from. This information is focused on the underwriting of Workers’ Compensation insurance but the principles can be applied to all lines of coverage. When your account is submitted to an insurance company it is usually in the form of a submission prepared by your insurance agent(s). That submission ‘paints a picture’ for the underwriters who decides what is a fair - [OSHA PPE Rule](https://riskwise.biz/osha-ppe-rule/): OSHA’s PPE standard (29 CFR 1910.132[h]) says that employers must pay for most types of PPE when used by employees exclusively in the workplace (that is, not for personal use at home or other non-workplace activities). The general rule of thumb is that you must pay for PPE whenever an OSHA rule explicitly requires it, such as for respiratory protection when air contaminant levels are above the PEL or hearing protection when noise exceeds established decibel levels. OSHA’s “employer pays rule” also mandates that you pay to replace required PPE on a regular basis. But you don’t have to pay - [Multi-Employer Worksites-Contractor Requirements Worksite Safety](https://riskwise.biz/multi-employer-worksites-contractor-requirements-worksite-safety/): The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a Compliance Directive to OSHA Inspectors on September 26, 1994 with regards to evaluating the parties responsible for jobsite hazards when more than one contractor is working on a site. The Compliance Directive was issued in the Field Inspection Reference Manual (FIRM), the Manual used by OSHA Compliance Inspectors to evaluate worksites. The Compliance Directive (CPL) is Instruction CPL 2-0.124 and is called Multi-Employer Citation Policy. The purpose of the Multi Employer Worksite Directive is to clarify OSHA’s position in dealing with situations with multiple employers on a common worksite, which is - [Louisiana is a Leader in Workplace Safety](https://riskwise.biz/louisiana-is-a-leader-in-workplace-safety/): Louisiana employers take workplace safety and health very seriously. Workplace safety is no party in Louisiana where employers have to stay focused on loss prevention due to the high severity types of operations such as; fabrication yards, oilfield operations, trucking and the maritime industry. Two recent articles give evidence to these statements. In the March issue of The Agents Voice, published by the Professional Insurance Agents, the President of the Louisiana Business and Trade Association, Dan Juneau, points to NCCI statistics. NCCI is the National Council on Compensation Insurance and is the governing body of the workers’ compensation insurance industry. - [Lessons from Katrina](https://riskwise.biz/lessons-from-katrina/): As most of you know, hurricane Katrina dealt a devastating blow to the Gulf Coast of the United States. The hardest hit areas were East of New Orleans, LA. The actual city of New Orleans fared well in the storm but the wind force caused significant window damage to some of the taller buildings. As these buildings were built many years ago surely the architects knew the geography of the region, with regards to the potential for a hurricanes coming out of the Gulf of Mexico, you might think that the buildings could have been engineered to with stand Category - [Late Reported Workplace Injury Claims and Higher Case Cost](https://riskwise.biz/late-reported-workplace-injury-claims-and-higher-case-cost/): In an effort to minimize the cost of workers’ compensation insurance cases, employers should require employees to report all incidents, injuries and property damage immediately to a supervisor. This should be a written policy that is signed by employees at the time of hire that all incidents must be reported immediately. In addition, work-place awareness posters should be displayed that all injuries should be reported immediately as to demonstrate that the employer has given the workers adequate notice of what is required. This forms the basis of your workplace reporting policy if it is ever called into question. This article - [Just a normal day on the job](https://riskwise.biz/just-a-normal-day-on-the-job-2/): In America, on average 15 people a day die from workplace accidents. That adds up to roughly 5,475 fatalities a year from workplace accidents. We lost 57,000 American soldiers in Vietnam between the years of 1960 and 1973. In that same time frame 13 years we lost 71,175amercian workers. In that same time period we lost 653,000 lives in vehicle accidents. Another senseless loss of life comes in the form of hard working people trying to earn a living and being killed in the process. Of significant concern is that many of these workplace fatalities can be prevented. According to - [Introduction to Certificates of Insurance](https://riskwise.biz/introduction-to-certificates-of-insurance/): Most commercial agreements (e.g., leases, service contracts or vendor agreements) contain risk allocation and insurance provisions that require one party to accept responsibility for certain loses and to obtain a sufficient amount of insurance to be able to meet their financial obligations should losses occur. Certificates of insurance are the customary method of showing that he party providing the certificate has met their insurance requirements. What is a Certificate of Insurance? A certificate of insurance is a document that is issued by an insurer or their authorized representative (such as an insurance agent) that provides evidence that a company has - [Insurance Basics](https://riskwise.biz/insurance-basics/): Most employers have to purchase several types of insurance coverage just to operate a business. Some of these insurance coverage’s are required by law and others are required by contract, so the purchase of insurance is typically not optional. There are 5 basic types of Business Insurance coverage: 1) Property Insurance- protects structures, equipment and contents from loss if the structure catches fire, is hit by lightning or damaged due to a hurricane or from other perils. 2) General Liability Insurance- if a customer is injured while on your property, General Liability coverage protects you from lawsuits brought by the - [Indirect Cost of Workplace Injuries](https://riskwise.biz/indirect-cost-of-workplace-injuries/): In addition to the actual dollars paid out in claims and premiums to provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage, there are various Indirect Cost associated with injuries and injury management. It is estimated that indirect cost usually approach 4 times the cost of an injury. So, if a particular accident cost $10,000 to provide medical care and lost wages -the estimated indirect cost is $40,000 in ‘other’ cost to the company. Indirect cost defined- the cost associated with injuries other than the claim dollars spent. Often these costs are “hidden” in the form of non-productive activity. Types of Indirect Cost: 1) - [Independent Contractors and Injuries](https://riskwise.biz/independent-contractors-and-injuries/): Independent contractors are widely used in the maritime industry. Contractors can often do things in a turnkey manner, carry their own insurance, use their own equipment and reduce a company’s liability in some instances. The recent Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals decision McCarroll v. Wood Group Management highlighted another benefit. An independent contractor on a drilling platform does not owe a legal duty to another independent contractor’s employee he or she isn’t supervising. This injury case arose in July 2009 aboard the BP Atlantis, a drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico. BP hired two independent contractors, Grand Isle - [Hurricane season: Is your insurance ready?](https://riskwise.biz/hurricane-season-is-your-insurance-ready/): The subtle nuances of an insurance policy can dictate whether or not you have coverage as a business owner. Business interruption is a prime example considering that a single word (direct) has the all encompassing effect of eliminating coverage for a loss you had assumed would be paid. Such is the case with other forms of insurance specific to the livelihood of your business. With the advent of the 2015 hurricane season, and by virtue of a consensus of experts in the field stating this year will be comparable to 2005 (Katrina), post-disaster is not the time to find out - [Hierarchy of Safety Controls](https://riskwise.biz/hierarchy-of-safety-controls/): Hazards, physical conditions that cause injury, take many forms in the workplace. Often the hazard can be controlled in a number of different ways. However, the goal is to seek to best treatment technique that ideally eliminates the hazard or reduces it down to lowest possible level. The lowest possible level is where it would be extremely remote for the hazard to cause an injury.
