Abstract

The article presents a study that examines participation and impacts of Pennsylvania's Certified Safety Committee (CSC) program in work injury rates of insurance firms. The study analyses data of participant firms and performs regression analysis to determine injury rate differences between them and non-participant firms. Result shows that the program effectively reduces rates of firms with good compliance, while revealing large firms and those with higher rates are keen to join the program.
