Protect Your Business with Our Loss Control Services
Safe workplaces have not always been a given. In Gilbert’s early days, businesses had a fatalistic view of work injuries, seeing them as an inevitable cost of doing business. Public opinion turned after large-scale catastrophes, such as the 1907 Darr Mines explosion in western Pennsylvania, which killed 239 miners, and the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in a New York City garment factory, which killed 149 young girls and women.
We’ve seen things change greatly in our 170+ years of insuring businesses. Today, enlightened employers implement loss control programs, recognizing the potential to make a dramatic impact on financial losses while also strengthening employee morale, trust, and commitment.
While we’re proud to call Pennsylvania our home, we’ve helped businesses all across the country manage their risk, and we look forward to helping you too, no matter where you call home.
