From the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Cincinnati, Ohio (Dr Wurzelbacher, Dr Bertke, Dr Bushnell, and Dr Moore); Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, Columbus, Ohio (Mr Lampl, Mr Robins, and Dr Naber).
Objective: This study evaluated the impact of a state workers' compensation (WC) insurer's onsite risk control (RC) services on insured employers' WC claim frequency and cost.
Methods: We used two methods to model 2004 to 2017 claims data from 4606 employers that received RC visits over time and compare this claims experience to matching employers that did not receive RC services.
Results: Relative total WC claim rates increased slightly after RC services, while relative lost-time claims rates either remained similar or decreased and WC cost rates decreased.
