Workers’ Compensation Information for 29 Industries Gives Employers Free Industry-Specific Cost-Containment Help

New Material Includes Sample Transitional Duty Jobs for Each Industry

October 18, 2010 –Amaxx’s Workers Comp Cost Containment Resource Center for Employers, at LowerWC.com, now provides workers’ compensation insurance-related information for 29 industry groups.

The industries covered are: agriculture, amusement parks, banks, casinos, construction, commercial fishing, logging and sawmills, oil and gas exploration, longshore and harbor workers, industrial equipment manufacturers, telecommunications, food and beverage manufacturers, restaurants, professional services, schools, state and local governments, insurance companies, temporary staffing agencies, hospitals and nursing homes, entertainers, sports teams, printers and publishers, janitorial services, hotels and motels, transportation companies, retail chain stores, and horseracing.

The new material includes sample transitional duty jobs for each industry. Transitional Duty reduces unnecessary employee time out of work, cutting costs dramatically and is also called modified duty, alternate duty or light duty. Over 40% of workers compensation costs are related to indemnity payments (lost wages) paid when employees lose time from work so controlling these costs is paramount when developing a work comp cost containment program.

Companies with effective transitional duty programs have lower experience modification factors. Companies with the highest return to work ratios – 95% of injured employees returning to work within 1-4 days – have the lowest mods* according to the 2010 RIMS Benchmark Survey. The new information in the Resource Center can be used to start a return to work program for your company.

The Resource Center is located at LowerWC.com and focuses on helping employers get a grip on decreasing their workers compensation costs. It contains several free resources including the Work Comp IQ Test, Transitional Duty Cost Calculator and Work Comp Sales Calculator.
