Eligible employers earned the rebate by attending the required number of meetings including any training supplements.

If an employer believes they met rebate attendance requirements but are not listed on the spreadsheet, please contact our office to discuss the matter. If you are listed but did not receive a check, your rebate may have been applied to an outstanding BWC account balance. Those employers should review their BWC e-account or contact their BWC Employer Services Specialist for clarification.

BWC Rebate Program
The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) has renewed their Safety Council Rebate Program for the 2023-24 Program Year. The new Program Year begins on July 1, 2023, and ends on June 30, 2024. The new Program Year will offer a 3% rebate based on your Workers’ Compensation Premium, an increase over last year.
Participants will still be required to attend 10 Safety Council meetings. We offer numerous opportunities for you to fulfill this 10-meeting requirement. We will conduct twelve luncheon meetings, one each month that will be held at one of three venues. We will offer several safety workshops and training sessions in our Safety Council Classroom that qualify as a meeting credit. However, you may exchange two of the ten Safety Council meetings for two other sessions of qualified training. You can check with our Safety Council to determine what qualifies as a training session.
Please review the BWC Rebate Program Information sheet that explains the details for the Program including eligibility requirements and potential financial rebates. There are many benefits for your participation in this Program. First, you can receive money back from the BWC which serve as savings in your Workers’ Compensation costs. Secondly, by actively participating in our Safety Council meetings, you will receive information that will be helpful to keep your organization safe and hopefully accident-free. If you prevent one employee injury, it could save your organization thousands of dollars from accident/injury related costs and increases in your BWC Premiums.

Group Rating Safety Accountability
The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, BWC has requested that I provide our members with their letter regarding Group-Rating Safety Accountability. This letter contains information for those who are currently enrolled in either their Group-Rating Program or the Group-Retrospective Program and for those employers who may be considering enrolling in either of these Programs in the future. These BWC Programs provide another opportunity to eligible employers to obtain a reduction in their Workers' Compensation premiums and at the same time work with the Safety Council and Frank Gates our TPA to improve safety in their workplace. If you have questions or would like additional information about these Programs, you may contact our office at (216) 621-0059 or by email at gcsafetyc@ameritech.net.
