There is a lot the agent can do for their commercial insureds besides lowering their premiums.<br /><br />The cost of workplace injuries far exceed the cost of the premium, both in terms of human cost and additional business expense including:<br /><ul><li>Other employees came to aid the injured employees and all work was stopped </li><li>Equipment involved may have to be inspected by OSHA and insurance companies - rendered useless until checked</li><li>Management’s time and efforts are expended in researching the claim, assisting with litigation and subrogation and may have to be deposed or even sit before a judge </li><li>An essential employee will be out of work for some period of time, even if there are no indemnity payments. This makes the true cost multiplier extremely large on smaller claims.</li><li>An essential employee may have to be replaced, expending more HR and Training resources</li><li>If there are many accidents or severe accidents at a workplace, your clients risk their reputation and ability to attract employees</li></ul><p>Here is an easy to use manual that empowers you to track these costs for your client, getting the essential buy-in for ensuring that your client provides appropriate safety leadership within their organization.
