\n The Request\n <\/h2>\n\t\n <\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Help to improve safety performance in the workplace.<\/h3>\n

Company Profile<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Industry: Grain Processing and Milling\/Agriculture<\/h4>\n

Annual Revenue: $4.5 billion<\/h4>\n

Locations: 20<\/h4>\n

A nationwide grain processing and milling organization was unsatisfied with its safety performance in the workplace and engaged Brown & Brown. The customer wanted to revamp its existing internal safety auditing process, which focused on lagging indicators and compliance-based elements.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_bottom=”pb-2″ full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”bottom” css=”.vc_custom_1638896243466{background-color: #eaeaec !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”794″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″]\n

\n \n

\n The Solution\n <\/h2>\n\t\n <\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Developed audit format based on a safety and health management system.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_top=”pt-1″ full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1638896256859{background-color: #eaeaec !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brown & Brown\u2019s Risk Control specialists reviewed and evaluated the existing audit format and analyzed loss experience to put in a new program. The Brown & Brown team discovered that the audits did not address many existing risks.<\/p>\n

To address the risks, the Brown & Brown specialists worked with the customer\u2019s Corporate Risk Management team to develop a new auditing system.<\/p>\n

The new system incorporated Safety Performance Metrics that were inclusive of proactive measures based on a safety and health management system, metrics from risk assessments, as well as lagging indicators and compliance.<\/p>\n

The new audit format included elements that identified and assessed local management planning and leadership, employee participation and involvement, hazard identification and correction, preventive maintenance and physical conditions and regulatory program compliance.<\/p>\n

It also included tracking risk assessment findings and corrective measures to indicate risk level performance. A weighted score for each element and criteria for scoring was developed based on observations, interviews and document reviews. Local management and employees were trained in the management system elements and how to perform their specific duties.<\/p>\n

When auditing was initiated and tracked, locations were provided immediate feedback and assistance in areas where the location needed help.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1323″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_bottom=”pb-2″ equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”bottom”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”792″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″]\n

\n \n

\n The Results\n <\/h2>\n\t\n <\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Reduced claims by 50% and workers\u2019 compensation costs by 75% in the first year.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_top=”pt-2″ equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column][vc_column_text]The new Safety Metrics System allowed the organization to quickly identify strengths and weaknesses among operations using a Safety Performance Dashboard. Locations were able to identify and prioritize risks for corrective action, and in many cases anticipate potential problems. This led to a reduction in worker incidents by 50% and workers\u2019 compensation costs by 75% in the first year. This also contributed to improved management\/employees\u2019 relationships.\u00a0 OSHA compliance was improved, and the customer increased employee participation in safety, allowing key locations to pursue OSHA VPP.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1423″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/www.bbrown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Case-Study-\u2013-Improving-Safety-Performance-\u2013-Brown-Brown.pdf”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_top=”pt-2″ equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″]\n
