The Workers’ Compensation Act currently requires all employers in New York State with a payroll greater than $800,000 and an experience modification rating higher than 1.20 to undergo a workplace safety and loss prevention consultation by a professional certified by the New York State Department of Labor. Lovell Safety Management’s staff of Certified Consultants is equipped to fulfill these requirements. In accordance with Code 59, our Health and Safety Consultants can provide the following services:

• An analysis of the workplace safety and loss prevention program;

• An on-site hazard survey of the facility; and

• Completion of a written report on all findings, submitted within 30 days of the closing conference.

Before we undertake these activities, our Consultant will meet with the employer’s key management personnel and a designated representative of the workforce. During this conference, the following will be reviewed:

• Procedures for conducting the consultation;

• Information and assistance our Consultant needs;

• Employee involvement; and

• The potential for sampling tests.

At the end of our assessment, the Lovell Consultant will meet with key management and the employee representative to disclose findings and offer recommendations. A written report, detailing all findings and evaluations, will be supplied to the employer after the final conference.
