BOTTOM-LINE RI K MANAGEMENT
Transforming your safety program into a successful profit center$
© OSTN Bottom Line Risk Management 2
For Training Purposes Only
WelcomeMost managers make workplace decisions to enhance profitability through greater productivity, efficiency, and quality. In many instances they are slow to commit resources to suggestions for corrective action unless they include quantifiable data, useful information that they understand: Information that quantifies the benefits and proves cost effectiveness
Mark Hansen said it well, “The CEO’s and comptroller’s eyes glass over when talk turns to incident rates and experience modification rates for the same reason that a safety manger’s eyes glass over when talk turns to return on investment and equivalent uniform annual cost. The terms are not part of the same language. Therefore, to be understood the safety manager must speak a language that upper management understands - dollars and cents.”
This workshop will help you speak the language of top management by introducing various engineering economy principles such as present worth, depreciation, rate of return, replacement, retirement and cost-benefit analysis.
Goals
Through your participation in guided discussion in Part One you’ll gain a better understanding of:
• The direct, indirect and unknown costs associated with workplace accidents
• The benefits of paying for safety proactively
• The tools and techniques to measure those costs and benefits
In Part two, by participating in a case study exercise you’ll learn how to: • Estimate direct and indirect costs of an accident
• Determine the potential risk: probability and severity of an accident
• Complete a cost/benefit analysis including return on investment, business volume and units required to cover costs, payback period, and costing-back.

Why does your employer “do” safety?
Knowing what motivates lets you target and appeal to needs.

How are rates determined?
Manual Rating - Also called the “Pure Premium Rate,” this rate is applied to all industries of the same type or standard industrial classification (SIC). Expressed as:
Dollars per $100 dollars of payroll
Example: $3.15 per $100 dollars of payroll.
Experience Rating - used to vary the company’s own rates, depending on its experience by comparing actual losses with expected losses.

Company background• XYZ Manufacturing has been in business for about 15 years building components for and
assembling high-end quality constant temperature humidifiers for sale to research and medical laboratories. It produces and ships approximately 20 humidifiers daily which represents an average of $120,000 in sales. Annual business volume is $24 million
• The company employs 173 personnel with the following breakdown by position and hourly wages.
- 15 management ($35)
- 6 warehouse workers ($17)
- 20 fabricators ($21)
- 3 maintenance workers ($25)
- 122 production workers ($18)
- 7 administrative/accounting employees ($15)
• Annual Costs. Payroll $4.7 million; Benefits $2.3 million; Capital investment and facilities $2.2 million; materials/supplies $3.7 million; other $2.7 million.
• Net annual profit $1.2 million (5%)
• The Experience Modification Rate (MOD) is 1.05 and its SIC code is 3539.
• Premium rates are $3.15 per $100 payroll.
• Annual workers compensation premium: XYZ’s standard plan premium would be approximately $155,000/year. However they have elected to participate in the Retrospective Rating Plan with the hope of saving substantial costs. Under this plan they pay only $43,000 (28%) at the beginning of the year. They will also pay all claim costs (medical, lost time, partial permanent disability) plus 20% for actual losses accrued during the year.
Safety Costs at XYZ INC.In this case study exercise each group will analyze a scenario and use several financial tools and techniques to determine hazard(s) and their associated costs to the company, and develop, prioritize and justify corrective actions based on cost/benefit factors.
Instructions
1. Become familiar with XYZ, Inc. background information and your group’s assigned scenario.
2. Complete each assignment and stop for class discussion before starting the next assignment.

Scenario #1: Worried in the warehouseBob Smith, a forklift driver in the shipping department reported to you that early this morning he was loading 24 temperature control units on to a pallet in the upper storage area of the warehouse when he leaned up against the guardrail and almost fell to the floor 12 feet below. The guardrail was of homemade 2x4 construction and been in a weakened condition for about three months. Due to a lack of space in the warehouse, the platform is the only area currently available for storing control units. Bob, along with three other warehouse workers must work in the upper storage area loading/unloading parts approximately once a week.
Scenario #2: Anxiety in AccountingJill Jones, one of XYZ’s managers and only accountant, reported that she was carrying a box containing monthly checks and financial reports down the stairs from her office to the admin department when she just about tripped over a stack of books that had been placed on one of the uppermost steps. Luckily, she was able to grab a hold of the banister to stop the fall. Several co-workers have expressed concern about people placing items on the stairs in the past to their safety committee representative, but nothing has been done yet about the problem.
Scenario #3: Help in the HoleWoody Badger, a new maintenance man informed you, the safety committee representative, that his last employer had an underground confined space similar to one at XYZ uses to store mixed waste chemicals. He reported that he had been directed to clean out the tank once the waste chemicals had been emptied by a disposal contractor. He wanted to know where the confined space permit was, and who was going to be the attendant. The maintenance supervisor informs you that he did not realize special procedures or test equipment was required, and since they’ve never had them before...why now, all of a sudden?

Scenario #4: Faint in fabricationFox Scully, a custodian in the manufacturing facility reported feeling dizzy while working with Chemical-X, a highly toxic chemical when in concentrate. Fox dilutes the chemical concentrate, which is stored in five-gallon containers, daily with water in a 55-gallon drum near the location where it is used in the fabrication area. He is unfamiliar with this new chemical and as he was mixing it he suddenly became quite dizzy and nearly fell over and spilled the container of concentrate. The 23-person fabrication department is responsible for forming and assembling covers and doors for all humidifiers.
Scenario #5: Pain in ProductionBilly Goetz, one of three production workers who work in production wiring and assembling circuit boards, is concerned about pain she is experiencing in both wrists. She has noticed more frequent and severe pain in her wrists. Within 20 minutes after beginning her normal task, the pain becomes noticeable. By the end of the morning she has to take frequent breaks due to the severity of the pain. She notified her supervisor on two separate occasions (three months and one month ago), but has not yet received any guidance. Your employer has assigned the safety committee to come up with recommendations with justification.
Scenario #6: Feeling “Funny” in FramingPhyllis O’Delphia, a worker in the framing section of the fabrication department just found out she is 3 weeks pregnant and is worried about the chemicals she uses to clean and coat the metal humidifier frames. She has, on occasion felt light-headed and had to leave work, and once she got a nasty rash on her right arm (unreported). She states that she’s not really worried about it, but doesn’t really know anything about the chemicals, and just wants to make sure. Through questioning her supervisor you learn she is using Chemical-X, a solvent which is toxic to the liver, and Chemical-Y, a lacquer coating which can cause eye damage.
