The link/ article below mentions some interesting trends about work place safety. Specifically, the article highlights that companies are using temporary workers to mitigate or negate their responsibility to provide a safe work place for ALL workers.
While the article unfortunately paints the staffing industry in some unfavorable light (which I take strong issue with) it does make some good points about how staffing companies really need to know their clients before placing workers at their facilities

Please know that when you work with a quality PEO, they can provide expert staff and guidance to help ensure that your clients are following the best practices in safety management.

There are 2 main reasons that workers compensation rates will continue to head north in 2013. First is the tightening of underwriting standards for most labor intensive industries– especially staffing and construction. From 2001-2009 workers compensation rates were kept low because of loose underwriting standards by many carriers. After 2009 the insurance industry realized that their underwriting requirements were far too lax, and their insured risk portfolio generated inferior rates of return on their investment in workers compensation programs.
Second, the insurance industry is not able to make the kind of returns in the stock and other investment markets as they had in the years leading up to the Recession. Now they must be able to make money on each account rather than use the premium as investment monies for the investment markets. This is forcing up premiums as well as making the process of securing work compensation for higher risk industries (staffing and construction) more difficult. The net result is that more high risk companies in staffing and construction are being forced to the State Pools (and payng much higher rates) for their insurance.
An effective alternative can be utilizing a Professional Employers Organization (PEO’s) as your payroll and workers compensation provider. A PEO will spread your risk over their diverse portfolio of clients, which often results in lower rates for you.

Many staffing companies that are in the assigned risk or state workers compensation pools are finding that their 2013 premiums are making business much less profitable. In addition, the governmental regulations for the new health care law may significantly add to your administration costs.
Call Work Comp Staffing Solutions at 202- 302-1212 to see if partnering with a Professional Employer Organization can save you money in your workers compensation and administrative areas.
We look forward to saving you money in 2013.
