In the fast-paced world of automotive repair, car dealerships, and businesses in the roads, fuel, fleet, and related industries, keeping your team safe and your business running smoothly is critically important. However, unforeseen accidents can disrupt operations and impact your bottom line. Today’s landscape presents unique challenges, and that’s where the Automotive Industries Compensation Corporation (AICC) comes in.
AICC: Addressing Evolving Risks in the Automotive Industry
We offer a proactive self-insured workers’ compensation program designed specifically for our industries. This goes beyond simply providing coverage.
Here’s how AICC membership empowers your business to navigate current loss and claims issues:
- Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs): Mechanics and technicians frequently perform physically demanding tasks, increasing their risk of MSDs like back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other repetitive strain injuries. AICC’s focus on ergonomic evaluations and workplace safety training helps prevent these costly injuries.
- Slips, Trips, and Falls: Uneven surfaces, spilled fluids, and fast-paced environments in automotive workplaces can lead to slips, trips, and falls, resulting in broken bones, sprains, and head injuries. AICC promotes safe work practices and provides slip-and-fall prevention resources to minimize these incidents.
- Roadside Assistance and Service Calls: Mechanics and technicians venturing out for roadside assistance or service calls face additional risks on the road. AICC’s risk management programs include driver safety training to mitigate these risks.
- Fueling and Battery Risks: Fuel stations and repair shops handling flammable materials and powerful batteries face unique hazards. AICC offers safety protocols and training to prevent fires, explosions, and electrical injuries.
- Fleet Management Challenges: Large fleets pose their own set of concerns. AICC provides fleet safety programs to promote safe driving practices and maintenance routines, reducing accidents and associated claims.
Beyond Addressing Challenges, AICC Offers:
- Financial Advantage: Since our inception, we’ve returned nearly $30 million to members through a combination of up-front premium discounts and dividends based on the group’s overall performance. Imagine the cost savings you can achieve!
- Industry Expertise: We understand the unique risks associated with automotive work. Our team and industry-leading service model provides unparalleled support in managing claims, preventing accidents, and keeping your employees safe. This includes unlimited loss control services and a dedicated claims unit that prioritizes your needs.
- Employee Well-being: AICC membership grants access to Modern Assistance Program’s comprehensive Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This valuable resource offers confidential support services to your employees, helping them address personal challenges that could potentially impact work performance or safety.
- Broad Eligibility: The AICC caters to a diverse range of automotive-related businesses. From dealerships and gas stations to landscaping companies with vehicle fleets, if you have 5 or more vehicles, you’re eligible to join.
- Member-Driven Success: We prioritize member involvement. Our board of directors and independent administrator ensure our program operates with your best interests at heart. This collaborative approach is a key factor in our consistent success.
