Safety Pays as Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Regional Chamber Members Earn Workers Compensation Dividend of $44,134
Participating Businesses Share Workers Compensation Group Dividend from
Accident Fund Insurance Company of America
Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti, MI– 45 businesses will share a $44,134 premium dividend thanks to safe work practices and their participation in a workers compensation group dividend program available through the Ann
Arbor/Ypsilanti Regional Chamber. The dividend amount returned is based on each participant’s premium costs and range from $40 to over $5,800 with an average dividend of over $980.
In addition to dividend opportunities, the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Regional Chamber group dividend program offers participating businesses a five-percent discount on their workers compensation insurance premium rates. While keeping people healthy and injury-free is vital in its own right, it is also an important factor in the ability to earn a dividend. Safety at work leads to fewer injuries and fewer workers compensation claims.
"It’s a fact – safety pays. A safe work environment is not only great for employees, it’s great for the bottom line," says Beth Goodman, Accident Fund’s group program consultant. “We’re proud to be able to present the Chamber with this dividend for members in this program.” Accident Fund’s WorkSafe consultants work with policyholders on safe work practices and teach employee safety training. The company also offers an online "tool box" where policyholders can link to federal and state workplace safety websites.
