As a broker, you know your clients want more than just a policy; they want peace of mind, fewer claims, and lower premiums. In today’s risk environment, commercial insurance with embedded safety tools are not just a bonus. They’re a differentiator.
Forward-thinking insurers are moving beyond reactive insurance to become proactive partners in workplace safety. That shift doesn’t just benefit your clients; it helps you build stickier relationships and a stronger book of business.
Why Safety Tools Matter in Commercial Insurance
Your clients, especially those in high-hazard industries like construction, agriculture, and manufacturing, are under constant pressure to manage risk. Traditional carriers underwrite based on past performance. But what if you could offer a solution that helps improve that performance?
Modern insurers are now offering technology-powered safety programs that support insureds in real time. Think fewer injuries, better mod scores, and fewer claim headaches for both you and your clients.
3 Ways Carriers with Safety Tools Help You Win
1. Lower Claim Frequency = Better Retention
Carriers with built-in safety tools help clients reduce incidents, leading to fewer claims. Fewer claims can mean more competitive renewals and fewer uncomfortable conversations at renewal time.
2. A Value-Add That Sets You Apart
Offering a proactive carrier like Foresight helps you stand out in a crowded market. When competitors are selling rates, you’re selling results like a 17% average reduction in claims frequency.17% average claims frequency reduction based on August 2023 actuarial study.)
3. Real-Time Visibility Builds Trust
Safety tools enable clients to gain access to dashboards, safety checklists, and alerts that help them spot and prevent risks early. It’s tangible value they can see and feel, not just fine print.
What to Look for in a Commercial Insurance with Safety Tools
Not all safety programs are created equal. As a broker, consider asking these questions when evaluating insurers:
- Is the safety tool easy to implement?
- Is there a dedicated team (not just tech)?
- Does it integrate with claims, reporting, or compliance workflows?
- Can it help improve mod scores or reduce premiums over time?
- Does the insurer offer training or support for adoption?
