Safety Groups

Safety Groups clients save up to 57% on their New York workers' compensation premiums.

WHAT IS A SAFETY GROUP?

A Safety Group is a collection of safety-conscious businesses within a similar industry that receive low-cost, fully insured workers' compensation insurance.

Safety Groups work by only allowing businesses in New York, with a proven track record of safety to join. Qualifying members receive an upfront group discount of up to 35%. Premiums are then pooled and after paying claims and expenses the profits of the group are returned to members in the form of a dividend. Since 1992, our average paid dividend is 29%.

After discounts and dividends, Safety Group members save up to 57% on their workers' compensation premiums. 

HOW DO CLIENTS BENEFIT FROM SAFETY GROUPS?

Safety Group members save up to 57% on their workers' compensation premiums through up to a 35% Upfront Group Discount, and annual dividends, averaging 29% over the past 29 years.
