Unfortunately, insurance carriers cannot compel employers to apply their dividend checks to a safety program. In fact, they cannot even compel the employer to have a safety program. The carriers are limited to insuring an employer, explaining their exposure, and choosing not to insure an employer if their injury experience is too high. I imagine that many insurance carriers become as frustrated as you are with small employers.
