BWC Incentive Programs Save Money, Improve Safety

The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation offers a variety of cost-saving programs to help employers realize financial savings and improve workplace safety. These programs include:

• Premium Discount Program - By meeting certain claims frequency and severity benchmarks, employers can receive as much as 30 percent off their premiums.
  
  
• Drug-Free Workplace Program and Drug-Free EZ - These programs are designed to help employers detect and deter substance abuse in the workplace. Employers can receive up to a 20 percent premium discount for implementing a drug-free program.
  
  
• Transitional WorkGRANT$ program - This program reimburses employers up to 80 percent of their development costs of a transitional work program. Transitional work can help injured workers remain at work or return to work quickly and safely, and lower workers' compensation costs.
