Challenge

In the 2006-2007 policy year, T. Bruce Sales had reported 36 workers’ compensation claims at their work site. Understanding that employee safety was critical for production, morale and engagement, T. Bruce Sales was looking for a partner to reduce workers’ compensation claims and costs. Gilbert’s Risk Solutions became their agent and began the process of reducing accidents.

After Gilbert’s Risk Solutions

By partnering with Gilbert’s Risk Solutions and SOS Consulting, a third-party safety consultant, the entire team has monthly inspections, audits, post-workplace injury interviews, and supervisor accountability and accident investigation training. From the reduction in workers’ compensation and employee injury costs, the company has been able to invest in additional plant upgrades that continue to drive safety.
