The NFIB "Safety Is Smart Business" Program for the NFIB/IWIF Group Safety Plan
To remain in the NFIB/IWIF Group Safety Plan and to help reduce the frequency and cost of losses each company agrees to:
- Adopt and publish a formal written declaration of a company's loss control and prevention philosophy;
- Publish and distribute to all employees a formal safety program;
- Assign a designated coordinator who is responsible to deal with and correct all safety- and health-related issues;
- The safety coordinator must attend at least one IWIF policyholder seminar each year;
- Be willing to be subjected to an loss-control and safety-hazard audit conducted by an IWIF loss-control consultant;
- Conduct annual self-inspection of the workplace addressing all potential hazards;
- For participants with more than 25 employees, establish a fully functional safety committee; and
- Establish a workers'-compensation claims-management program.
Participants are also encouraged to consider offering and drug- and alcohol-testing program to include, at a minimum, post-employment-offer testing.
