The Retail Council’s Workers’ Compensation Safety Group rewards members for safe working environments.

The Retail Council of New York State services the workers’ compensation needs of retailers though Safety Group 493, designed to reward employers who maintain a safe working environment.

Substantial Savings
Since 1978 we have been helping our eligible members lower their workers’ compensation insurance costs by returning a portion of their premium in the form of annual dividend payments. Although dividends cannot be guaranteed, we have averaged a return of more than 39% over the past 29 years!

In fact, as part of our 40% dividend for policy year 2006, we returned more than $5 million to eligible Safety Group members.

Security and Strength
The group maintains a healthy contingent reserve. This entitles group members to anticipate a yearly payment of dividends on a consistent basis. Your independence is preserved when you are part of a group that boasts more than 1,300 safety-minded retailers.

Exceptional Service
The Council’s in-house team of licensed professionals serves the workers’ compensation insurance needs of retailers of all size. Group members rely on quick and personalized attention in response to all of their questions.

Complement your workers’ compensation insurance policy with the Council’s statutory disability insurance program. Our disability insurance rates are among the lowest available for New York State retailers!
