Frequently asked questions about workers' comp for manufacturers

What questions should I ask manufacturing accounts about safety practices?

Ask about their most frequent and severe workplace injuries and what they've done to reduce them, what PPE is required and how it's enforced, and what return-to-work program they have in place, including how they accommodate light duty. Manufacturing risk varies too much by materials, process, and machinery for a one-size-fits-all safety program, so these questions are what actually surface the gaps.

What risk factors should I look for in a manufacturing submission?
What's being manufactured, particularly the size and weight of the finished product, whether machines are fitted with proper safety guards, how materials are stored and moved through the facility, housekeeping practices that prevent slips, trips, and falls, facility ventilation, and whether employees handle product delivery or installation and what safety measures cover that work.
What type of manufacturing accounts are a good fit for Kinetic Insurance?
Kinetic is built for employers looking for a strategic partner invested in the long-term direction of their workers' compensation policy. Businesses that choose us want a partner who is engaged, deeply understands their business, and is an active guide throughout the policy period.
How much can manufacturing policyholders earn in dividends?

Up to 26%, for qualifying accounts who maintain a safe work environment and put a strong return-to-work program in place.
