Workers’ Compensation Risk Certification

Staffing firms

Corporate certification program that recognizes best practices in worker safety and risk management

To enhance workplace safety, streamline operations, offer leverage in underwriting negotiations, and provide a competitive advantage in client acquisition and retention

Manage Risk and Protect Profits
Staffing firms face significant challenges and
expenses in obtaining workers’ compensation
insurance coverage. Carriers use stringent
underwriting requirements and insure only companies that
effectively manage risk. Excellence in risk management can reduce
claims, protect profits, and address expanding client expectations.

To establish staffing industry standards of excellence in risk management, the American Staffing Association and RCS Services Inc., a risk management consulting firm, have worked with underwriters, brokers, and risk managers to develop a comprehensive workers’ compensation safety and risk management certification program designed specifically for the staffing industry.

The Workers’ Compensation Risk Certification Program

■ ■ Establishes an industry standard of operational excellence in staffing firm risk management to reduce workplace injuries and related costs

■ ■ Recognizes staffing firms that meet the standards established under the program

■ ■ Promotes the development of voluntary workers’ compensation markets for the staffing industry

Risk Evaluation The WRC program evaluates several key components of a staffing firm’s operational structure as they relate to risk management practices: ■ ■ Operating facilities ■ ■ Pre-employment phase ■ ■ Candidate interview and employee selection ■ ■ Employee orientation ■ ■ Client safety programs, evaluations, and communication ■ ■ Accident and injury investigations ■ ■ Modified duty or back-to-work programs ■ ■ Claims management ■ ■ Personnel records and other documents The WRC program also evaluates service-specific components relevant to sectors (clerical, light industrial, health care, etc.) served by your firm.
