Now is the Best Time to be Part of a Pool
A hard market cycle occurs when rates are high and competition is low. Risk sharing pools such as PRISM were born from a hard market. Learn more about the benefits of pooling in our video.
Risk Control Open Forum: Wood Chippers
Sometimes safety training isn't enough to prevent accidents when operating wood chippers. In three quarters of a second, an employee can be pulled toward a machine's feeding mechanism, and the chances of activating emergency stops and averting a tragedy could be very slim. Join the roundtable discussion on June 14th at 11 a.m. about the Wood Chipper Safety Shield and how Stanislaus County has retrofitted all of their wood chippers with this passive device to prevent accidents.
