Originally, Safety Pays was developed strictly as an in-house safety incentive program for Santa Monica Seafood, a seafood processing & distribution company, based in Los Angeles. Shortly before this program was started, the company was paying a workers' comp premium of more than $330,000...and that was with a workforce of barely 100 employees!
Since the implementation of Safety Pays, this same company has succeeded at saving literally millions of dollars in the 20 years since it was first introduced and that’s with triple the number of workers!
It was so successful that within a very short time, other members of the seafood industry heard about it and wanted it for their workers. This was followed by a tidal wave of calls from their insurance brokers wanting to know how Safety Pays could be utilized on behalf of their other clients.
So in 1991, the Safety Pays workplace incentive program was formatted so that any company could utilize it for their specific group of employees. At the time, it was assumed that the program would primarily serve California-based businesses -- all of which were confronted with a horrendous workers' comp problem in that state.
Within just over a year’s time after Safety Pays was made available to the public, companies in nearly every state in the U.S. had heard about Safety Pays and had installed the system for their own workforces.
Today, literally thousands of companies nationwide have used Safety Pays – ranging from Fortune 500 companies, to small to medium businesses (100 – 500 employees), all the way to small "mom & pop" shops with less than 10 workers.
Over the years, the original Safety Pays design has been reworked and refined so that today, there are literally dozens of program configurations now available which can address virtually every workplace demographic.
Whether the client is a heavy equipment dealer, a uniform & linen supply house, a hotel/restaurant chain, or a convalescent care facility, Safety Pays has long-term experience in addressing the workplace incentive requirements unique to that business or industry.
This includes clients which have as many as 4000 employees under one roof (Packard Bell at their northern California plant) to clients which have hundred of locations with only a few employees at each site (Jiffy Lube locations on the East Coast) as well as dozens of gas station/mini-mart chains.
We address situations which are as diverse as an amusement park (Six Flags, Los Angeles Zoo) to security guards who either individually or in pairs transporting millions of dollars such as Loomis Fargo Armored Division.
We've implemented the Safety Pays program at massive construction sites (Oglethorpe Power's Georgia Hydroelectric Dam) to small roofing crews and paint contractors. We specialize in driver safety incentives for long-haul truckers and city delivery fleets.
We’ve worked with governmental entities ranging from cities & counties to military installations and even the White House (through the GSA -- General Services Administration).
How about situations, where employees work all by themselves? Safety Pays has a special “field employee” edition for such business as janitorial services, parking lot companies or home-care nurses who go to the patient rather than the patient coming to them. We even have a specialized version of Safety Pays for temp agencies and employee leasing firms!
Anywhere there is an exposure which might result in a financial loss, the Safety Pays incentive program has successfully addressed such a problem.
With so many years of experience not to mention its vast array of client companies, Safety Pays is confident that it can help you with whatever workplace concerns you may have. But don't take our word for it, browse some of our many client testimonials by industry or business sector.
