‘Destination: Excellence’ Could Reduce BWC Premiums
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Employers in the Buckeye State have until April 30 to apply to the Bureau of Workmen’s Compensation for a new rating under its new plan, “Destination: Excellence,” the administrator of the bureau, Steve Buehrer, announced Monday.
Destination” Excellence takes effect July 1.
“This plan not only offers opportunity for Ohio employers to save on their premiums, it supports BWC’s top priority of preventing injuries and getting injured workers healthy and back to work sooner,” Buehrer said. “It also offers employers more choices and rewards them for embracing effective return-to-work tactics such as transitional work plans and vocational rehabilitation.”
The Destination: Excellence rating plan is designed to help employers promote safety in the workplace by preventing accidents and getting injured employees back to work sooner. “Additional savings are also possible for effective policy maintenance such as doing business online and paying BWC premiums on time,” Buehrer said.
