BWC Safety Requirement for Group Rated Employers Print E-mail

BWC Safety Requirement for Group Rated Employers The Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) Board of Directors passed a new rule that requires that all employers in the July 1, 2009, Group Rating Program who had a claim within the two preceding calendar years are required to attend two hours of safety training between now the June 30, 2010.

The Frank Gates Service Company is notifying all impacted participants in our Group Rating Program administered by Frank Gates. If your company had one or more claims during calendar years 2007 or 2008, and your company participated in the July 1, 2009, Group Rating Program, the BWC has indicated that you must meet he safety training requirement. Therefore, impacted companies must attend two hours of safety training to meet the requirement by June 30, 2010. The topics must be workplace safety-related and can consist of multiple classes totaling a minimum of two hours of training. There are many options available for your business to meet the 2-Hour Safety Training Requirement:
  • Frank Gates Annual Seminar held in May of 2010
  • Ohio Safety Congress safety educational sessions (March 30-April 1, 2010)
  • BWC On Demand Courses
  • SafeX training sessions, Frank Gates’ preferred safety partner
  • Safety Council Classes (other than the routine monthly safety council meetings)

Frank Gates will be sending information to their clients who are impacted by the new requirements. The information will include instructions on meeting the requirement and where to send certification materials.
