Workers' Compensation Insurance
Your team is the foundation of your firm’s success. Their expertise, creativity, and dedication drive every project forward — but even in the safest workplaces, accidents can happen. From minor injuries to serious incidents, workplace accidents not only affect your employees’ well-being but can also create significant financial and legal challenges for your business.

Loss Control & Workplace Safety Audits
Through our carrier relationships, we provide access to safety professionals who specialize in the design and construction sectors. These resources help identify "hidden" hazards before they lead to costly claims.
These evaluations typically focus on:
​
-
Jobsite Safety Protocols: Best practices for architects and engineers conducting field observations.
-
Ergonomic Assessments: Reducing repetitive motion injuries for office-based design staff.
-
OSHA Compliance Support: Guidance on recordkeeping (OSHA 300 logs) and required safety training.

Experience Mod (EMR) Analysis & Strategy
Your Experience Modification Rate is the single biggest factor in your Workers’ Comp costs. We help you access tools to analyze your "Mod" and implement a strategy to drive it down.
We facilitate access to:
-
Mod Projections: Understanding how upcoming claims will impact future premiums.
-
Audit Review Resources: Identifying potential payroll classification errors that could be inflating your costs.
-
Industry Benchmarking: Seeing how your safety performance compares to other firms in your niche.

Return-to-Work & Transitional Duty Programs
The longer an employee is away from work, the higher the claim cost. We connect you with carrier-backed "Return-to-Work" (RTW) toolkits designed to help injured staff transition back into the office safely.
These resources help you:
-
Draft Transitional Job Descriptions: Creating "light duty" roles tailored for design professionals.
-
Coordinate with Medical Providers: Ensuring the carrier and doctor are aligned on the employee’s capabilities.
-
Minimize Indemnity Costs: Keeping workers engaged and productive during recovery to reduce the impact on your loss history.

Claims Advocacy & Post-Injury Management
When an injury occurs, the first 24 hours are critical. We provide you with the frameworks recommended by top insurers to ensure claims are handled efficiently and fairly.
Access guidance on:
-
Nurse Triage Lines: Immediate medical guidance for injured employees to prevent unnecessary ER visits.
-
Investigation Best Practices: Tools for documenting incidents accurately to prevent fraudulent or exaggerated claims.
-
Quarterly Claims Reviews: Partnering with adjusters to ensure old or "sticky" claims are closed out promptly.

Access to Employee Training & Digital Safety Portals
Design and construction firms often benefit from "value-add" digital libraries provided by our insurers, which include:
-
Safety Meeting "Toolbox Talks": Short, relevant safety briefings for field and office teams.
-
On-Demand Training Videos: Focused on fall protection, ladder safety, and office ergonomics.
-
Sample Safety Manuals: Templates to help you build or refine your firm’s internal safety policy.
