Safety Groups

Workers Compensation Provides Employee & Employer Protections

In New York, safety groups are a powerful tool for businesses to reduce their workers compensation costs while promoting safer work environments. By joining a safety group, companies within the same industry pool their resources to access exclusive benefits, including premium discounts, potential dividends, and expert safety programs tailored to their specific risks. At Durnan Insurance Services, we offer a variety of safety groups, such as those for real estate, construction, and marina operations, allowing businesses to take advantage of comprehensive coverage and proactive safety measures designed to minimize workplace incidents and keep employees protected.
