Creating safer workplaces in the
Social Services industry

Individuals and groups receive vital mental health and health services from social workers and health care experts in a number of settings, including hospitals, home care agencies, child welfare departments, community-based clinics, and schools.

Because they often deliver services outside of an office, such as in client homes and community-based settings, social workers and health care staff face specific vulnerabilities at work, including injuries stemming from workplace violence. Other workplace-related injuries include musculoskeletal injuries (sprains/strains) and slips and falls.

The frequency and severity of claims for risks in the social services field can translate to a high ex mod. At Seaglass Insurance Group, as part of our Workers’ Compensation program, we offer a customized risk management service plan for each client to reshape their safety culture and protect employees from injuries, lower their ex-mod, and drive down insurance costs.

We gain a firm commitment from each client to collaborate with us on making real changes, perform a loss-leader assessment, design a plan that integrates safety into workflow process, provide management training, and track results.
