IWIF's Offers
Free Young Workers Safety Kit to Employers
(TOWSON, MD) - In recognition of IWIF's Safety Saves Week, which
runs June 19-25, IWIF created a young worker safety kit for employers.
Called Safety Rules, the free kit contains information and tools
employers of young workers ages 16-24 can use to promote workplace
safety among young employees. Specifically, the kit contains tip
sheets and flyers for both employers and their young workers, brochures,
posters, paycheck stuffers, a worker orientation checklist, and
a copy of the federal government's Pocket Guide on Youth Employment.
The kit will be distributed to IWIF's 2,500 largest policyholders
and Maryland's top independent insurance agents. The complete kit
is currently available for order on IWIF's web site at www.iwif.com,
or by calling IWIF's Loss Control department at 1-800-264-IWIF,
ext. 2165.
According to IWIF, in 2004 15 percent of claims filed with the company
were from workers ages 24 and younger.
IWIF sponsors Safety Saves Week each year to raise awareness among
business owners about the importance of making safety a top priority
in the workplace.
Established in 1914, IWIF is the leading writer of workers' compensation
insurance in Maryland.
