Kelly Brown, Zurich, reviewed the figures on our claim history of January 1, 2003 through the present. Our figures have increased slightly in “2007” and there is room to improve in providing light-duty to injured workers. Slips, trips, and falls are still the highest cause of our W/C claims.

Fred Samson provided our yearly-required safety committee training. There were three parts: Orientation on what the committee is required to do; Hazard Assessment; and Accident Investigation. Detailed information on the training is available at the corporate office.

The next meeting will be held Friday, November 30, 2007.
