5% Annual Reduction of Your PA Workers Compensation Premium
Certified Safety Committee - Pennsylvania
Workplace safety programs foster increased productivity and reduce expenses and lost time resulting from employee injury, thus enhancing bottom line profitability. A straightforward and effective way to improve safety in the workplace and reduce your workers compensation premium is to establish a safety committee that meets the requirements for state certification.
An organization that has been granted certification of their workplace safety committee is eligible to receive a 5% discount on their workers compensation premium annually.
Critical Committee Requirements
- Committees must be in existence and operating for six full, consecutive calendar months prior to signing, dating and submission of the application.
- The application must be received by the Workers Compensation Certification Unit, in Harrisburg, between 90 and 30 calendar days in advance of the next workers compensation policy renewal date.
- All Committee members must be trained by a qualified trainer in safety committee operation, hazard inspection, and accident investigation prior to submitting the application.
- Training of the safety committee members is required on an annual basis after obtaining certification.
- Committees must meet monthly, keep meeting agendas, attendance lists, and meeting minutes.
