Signature Assignment: Loss Prevention Initiative Blog Post

Risk management includes a funding mechanism that stimulates investment in loss prevention and loss control measures to reduce the cost of risk. Funding may be obtained through a percentage of workers’ compensation base accrual rates. Investing in loss prevention reduces claim frequency, which has a positive effect on severity and overall claim exposure. An appropriate tracking system documents losses or exposure prior to initiating the new program and, after a selected time, documents the effect of the program on losses or exposure.
