INTRODUCTION
Background
Founded in xxxx and with five regional production facilities in Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Pennsylvania,
and South Carolina, xxxxx has been serving the eastern half of the U.S. with the manufacturing of
traditional forms and digital print related products and services. They are ranked among the top 10
independent forms manufacturers in the U.S. in sales volume, but are among the leaders in short to
medium‐run custom forms. xxxxx operates with additional entities known as xxxxx, xxxxx, and xxxxx.
Regarding the Workers’ Compensation program, xxxxx, currently carries a $xx,xxx per claim deductible.
This limit has been increased from the $xx,xxx deductible carried from 2007 – 2009 and various state
specific, net‐reporting small deductibles during the policy years 2005 – 2007.
Benchmarking & EMR Assessment Overview
The assessment includes a review of available documentation (such as historical claims, EMR, and
exposure data), and countrywide industry results. This report includes a summary of our findings and a
high level strategy for improving Safety and Health practices, Workers’ Compensation experience and
lowering the WC EMR, where applicable. The report is divided into five (4) sections:
1) Safety and Health Statistics Benchmarking Analysis – A multi‐level comparison of OSHA log and
Workers’ Compensation results vs. information from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) and
industry peers.
2) Workers’ Compensation Experience Modification Rate (EMR) Examination – Details on the minimum
and controllable portions of the EMR and historical claims impact on the current EMR.
3) Total Cost of WC Accidents – Outline of the developed direct and indirect costs associated with WC
accidents and their impact on profitability
4) Conclusion – A high‐level overview of the critical findings from the Benchmarking Analysis, EMR
Examination, and Total Accident Cost Impact on Profitability.

SAFETY AND HEALTH STATISTICS BENCHMARKING ANALYSIS
The Benchmarking Analysis is an evaluation tool that:
• Benchmarks your results against other SIC specific companies
• Identifies opportunities to improve your outcomes
This report summarizes a comparison between xxxxx and similar companies insured by Liberty Mutual
(Wausau) in SIC 2761, using several risk management outcome measures. The loss values are not
developed to their likely ultimate cost. Loss rates are based on estimated payroll dollars supplied by
each employer.
xxxxx is also compared to companies in the NAICS code 232110 with information obtained from the
Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS). Most recent data available is through 2008.

• A high loss rate suggests one or more of the following:
∗ a number of high cost claims have incurred
∗ slower closure rates
∗ unchallenged carrier reserving practices
∗ late claim reporting
∗ discrepancy in expense definition and chargeback
• A low loss rate suggests:
∗ loss hazards have been identified
∗ appropriate safety programs have been implemented and enforced
• A high frequency rate suggests:
∗ Safety controls are absent or not appropriately reinforced
∗ Employee behaviors need to be aligned to specific job standards
• A low frequency rate suggests:
∗ safety procedures and controls are documented, implemented, and understood
∗ Company may not be reporting all of its claims.

WC EXPERIENCE MOD EXAMINATION
The Mod Formula
APL + B + (W x AEL) + (1‐W) x EEL
EPL + B + (W x EEL) + (1‐W) x EEL
The mod formula looks complex, but it is carefully designed to
take into consideration industry averages, company size, and
loss history. Actual losses are compared to expected losses but a ballast value is used to "stabilize" the
formula and to move all mods closer to 1.00. The weighting value increases for larger companies and
places more emphasis on the actual loss history as the company increases in size.
Your 2009 Mod Calculation
87518 + 50317 + (0.27 x 297846) + (1 – 0.27) x 246812
1.06 =
76999 + 50317 + (0.27 x 246812) + (1 – 0.27) x 246812
As a business owner or financial manager, it is important to identify and understand every cost
associated with doing business. The workers' compensation modification factor for Your Company has a
significant impact on the cost of workers' compensation insurance. This alone is reason enough to
better understand the underlying theory, formula, and data that determines your modification factor.
However, the experience rating worksheet, which is used to communicate the modification factor, can
also provide valuable insight into your company's operation.
The following pages of this report explain, with minimal industry jargon, the experience rating formula
and the computation of the modification factor. For convenience, the workers' compensation
modification factor will be referred to as the "mod" throughout the report. This report will show you
how low your mod could be, the potential savings, and the true cost of your losses. Mod synopsis

Your mod is currently 1.06 and you are paying an estimated manual premium in NCCI states of
$291,500. If you were able to prevent all losses, then you could lower your mod to 0.62 and save
$121,000. An average competitor with a mod of 1.00 is paying $275,000 for similar workers
compensation insurance coverage. This puts your company at a $16,500 disadvantage as compared to
your average competitor.

WC EXPERIENCE MOD EXAMINATION (Continued)
Analysis of Primary and Excess Losses:
As part of the experience rating process, losses are "split" into two categories called primary and excess.
Primary losses are the first $5,000 of each claim. Excess losses are all amounts over the first $5,000 of
each claim. The amount of primary losses you have is then used as a way to measure loss frequency.
The amount of excess losses is then a measure of loss severity. Because underwriters are generally
worried more about loss frequency, the mod formula is designed to allow primary losses to have a larger
impact on the mod than excess losses. This report compares actual vs. expected losses for both primary
and excess losses and provides a written evaluation of the ratio.
Ratio of actual primary losses to expected primary losses 114%
Your Company has experienced a level of primary losses that is higher than expected. A high level of
primary losses greatly increases your modification factor. The level of primary losses is an indication of
the loss frequency. Your company is experiencing more losses than expected. This makes your
company vulnerable to loss severity.
Ratio of actual excess losses to expected excess losses 121%
Your company has experienced a level of excess losses that is higher than expected. A high level of
excess losses increases your modification factor. The bigger your company, the more emphasis is placed
on excess losses and the bigger the impact of excess losses on your modification factor. The level of
excess losses is an indication of the severity of each claim. On average, each loss your company incurs is
more severe than would be expected.

Limited loss
This analysis computes the true cost of a loss. Each loss in the calculation increases the mod and
increases the premium paid. The data used to compute a mod covers a three year period. So, each loss
stays in the mod computation three years. Therefore, we can estimate the true cost of a loss in the
terms of the resulting increase in premium over the three year period. From the table above, we can
see that the 8/06/07 Claimant 1 claim was limited to a total of $151,547 (down from the total incurred
of $698,250) and increased the mod by 0.1191. This will result in an increase in premium of $98,259
over the course of three years, and is the direct premium cost associated with this claim.
All of the above claims included indemnity payments which disqualifies them from a 70% reduction prior
to the claim value being included in the mod calculation. The 70% reduction for med‐only claims offers
a significant incentive for all companies in Experience Rating Adjustment (ERA) approved states to
maintain effective return to work and light duty programs. The 70% reduction in med‐only claims also
offers an incentive to report all claims to the insurance carrier.
The Claimant 2 claim from 12/11/07, while still open, was found to be incorrectly reported to the NCCI.
The current EMR worksheet values the claim at a total of $55,313, but the current loss runs only have a
med/indemnity incurred value of $40,194. This $15,119 difference is increasing the current 2010 EMR
by .011 which translates into additional standard premium of $3,025.

3-year premium increase - w/ Indemnity 3-year premium increase - Med Only Claim amount
This analysis shows the correspondence of claim value to premium increase due to the mod, it does not
contemplate offsetting discretionary or deductible credits commonly used by an underwriter.
Since a 70% credit is applied to medical only claims filed in Experience Rating Adjustment (ERA)
approved states. This is represented by the bottom (Blue) line in the graph. Medical only claims in all
other states and all claims that include indemnity payments are represented by the red line in the graph.
The claim value benchmark is represented by the solid black line.
This graph illustrates that a $5,000 claim, which includes indemnity, will increase the mod and
corresponding premium by ~$11,026. The virtual "break even" point is with a $20,000 claim (including
indemnity) which generates an increase in premium of ~$19,956. For all claim values >$20,000 the
corresponding increase in premium is less than that of the claim.

TOTAL COST OF WC ACCIDENTS
Loss Development and Indirect Costs
A Loss Development Factor (LDF) is used by insurance carriers to project what your company’s claims
will ultimately cost. The LDF includes an adjustment to claim reserves for "development" of claims and
incurred but not reported losses (IBNR). The LDF can be a national or state rate and will vary by policy
year (older policy periods will have a lower LDF since claims have matured somewhat).
Indirect costs consist of a multitude of factors such as downtime, dissatisfied customers, operating
delays, costs to train and compensate a replacement worker and temporary labor. Indirect costs, while
less obvious, can significantly impact your business' financials and profitability.
Studies show that the ratio of indirect to direct costs varies from a high of 20:1 to a low of 1:1. OSHA
studies indicate the indirect cost of an accident to be 4.5x the direct cost. We have taken a conservative
approach and are using a 2:1 ratio to calculate your indirect costs. We have also taken the conservative
route of not including NPV trending of the total accident costs.

Financial Impact of Injuries on Profitability
The following analysis was performed to give your management team a different perspective on the
impact accidents can have on your business’ overall performance.
REVENUE/SALES REQUIRE TO COVER WC COSTS
Estimated Annual Sales $62,500,000
Profit Margin (assume 5%) $3,125,000
3‐Year Selected Avg. Total Accident Cost (05‐10) $805,639
Additional sales required to offset accident costs $16,112,780
Average Sales/day (Estimated Annual Sales / 365) $171,233
Additional days of sales required to offset losses 94.1 Days
Clearly, company revenues are being diverted to replace profits lost due to accident costs. Your
company’s risk management performance is a critical component of your business’ long‐term financial
success.

CONCLUSION
Safety and Health Statistics Benchmarking Analysis
• Frequency and Loss Rate are significantly above SIC industry average (2.07 v 0.73 and $1.76 v $0.60,
respectively). This is typically an indicator of disconnection between positive management attitude
toward safety, the implementation of job specific safety protocols, and employee behavior.
Additional hands‐on safety and loss control consulting may be needed to identify frequency and loss
drivers.
• Median report lag time (1 day) is well above industry average (3 days). Claim procedures seem to be
well understood and efficiently filed.
• PPO penetration (75.9%) is well above industry average (65.7%). xxxxx is experiencing opportunities
for cost containment above industry average due proper direction of claimants within the network
PPO.
• OSHA 300 logs are required to complete the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) comparison. 5
years of BLS data have been provided as a baseline.
The Experience Modification Rate (EMR) Examination
• When comparing xxxxx’s current EMR (1.06) to its minimum mod of 0.62, this leaves xxxxx with a
controllable mod of 0.44. The premium value of the controllable mod is $121,000. This premium
value can be realized through the effective implementation of safety, loss control, and claims
management measures.
• An evaluation of primary (<$5,000) and excess (>$5,000) claims showed xxxxx exceeded industry
averages for both claim categories. This confirms the elevated frequency and loss rates found in the
benchmarking analysis.
• An error was found in the calculation of the 2010 EMR. The Claimant 2 claim from 12/11/07, while
still open, was found to be incorrectly reported to the NCCI. The current EMR worksheet values the
claim at a total of $55,313, but the current loss runs report a med/indemnity incurred value of
$40,194. This $15,119 difference is increasing the current 2010 EMR by .011 which translates into
additional modified premium of $3,025. A petition to the NCCI should be made to correct the EMR
and refund the premium.
• The EMR exam revealed that XXXXX will pay more in increased premium for all claims, which
included indemnity, at a value of ~$20,000 or less. Proper selection of filed claims and deductible
levels will positively impact XXXXX accident costs and EMR.
Loss Development and Indirect Costs
• xxxxx’s developed, selected average WC accident cost since 2005 is $805,639 per year. This
