What is Retro/Safety?
Workplace Safety and Workers' Comp Claims Management Consulting Services
Safety - We help Farm Bureau members implement a safe and healthy workplace to reduce the number of on-the-job injuries and accidents. Our Safety Directors conduct on-site workplace evaluations and provide training services in accident prevention. In the event of a serious injury, we will conduct an on-site evaluation to help members learn from the accident and prevent a reoccurrence. Find out more at WFB Safety Services
Claims - In the event of an injury, we provide claims management services to our members to reduce the costs of the claim. Our trained and experienced claim consultants aggressively and proactively manage claims to ensure timely action is taken by L&I to bring claims to resolution as quickly as possible. Find out more at WFB Claims Services
Representing Member Needs - We help ensure our members are in compliance with state and federal regulations and we serve as a liaison between the Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) and members on industrial insurance claims.
It's an Incentive Program
The concept is simple: Businesses in a retro program can earn a partial refund of their worker's comp premiums if they maintain a safe workplace that results in minimal workplace accidents and low claims costs.
Our program is called Retro/Safety because you cannot have one without the other. Retro is a financial incentive program offered by L&I to encourage improvements in workplace safety. Employers control losses by preventing workplace illnesses and injuries, and helping injured workers return to work.
