Problems
This large food distribution company suffered back injuries, strains and repetitive injuries. All these injuries caused their WorkComp premium to skyrocket to $2.2M premiums per year, more than 300% what they could have been paying.
Steps to mitigate problems
We were referred in to analyze the causes and design a program to dramatically improve their results.
Our contact was the CFO. He agreed to our proprietary risk assessment.
Risk Assessment Outcome
Added triage service which eliminated over 50% of the injuries through their online service.
Installed an employee receptive “Recovery @ Work Program.” Injured workers could
immediately “recover” at work. This reduces insurance company lost wage payments, a major cause of spikes in premiums.
Led and monitored supervisor training
Joined employer’s safety committee, provided agendas, and moderated different meetings
Conducted safety surveys, receiving tremendous results from employees at various job positions
Results
Injury costs plummeted in two years from 2.63% of payroll down to 1.08% of payroll.
Reduced experience modification factor
This company took back control of their Worker’s Comp program allowing alternative financing for their insurance program
Premiums plunged to $685,000 per year from $2.2M
Initiated annual risk assessments
CFO earned title of “Super Hero”
in two years. Their experience mod dropped and we were able to put them in a high deductible program. Their premium went from $2.2M per year to $685,000 per year. The CFO looked like a hero and we have been doing these risk assessments ever since.

Risk Management Assessment
Worked with hard-charging CFO to do Risk Management Assessment. Found gaps in insurance and learned they were paying for insurance on a lease they did not need to pay for (it was paid by the landlord). Corrected the errors, got a refund on the lease over-payment and saved the company 16% on their premium,
